HARRY Kane has been EXCLUDED from the world’s top eleven in 2026 – even after CLINCHING the Ballon d’Or.

The England captain Kane was featured on last week’s 26-man shortlist for the international players’ union FIFPro selection, determined by over 19,000 footballers from 73 nations.

Despite his exceptional performances for Bayern Munich and the English national team, which led to him being crowned the best player in the world in London two weeks ago, Kane surprisingly did not receive recognition from his fellow players – particularly with FOUR attacking players making it into the selection.

Kane was overlooked in favor of Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Lamine Yamal.

The only English player selected in the squad was Jude Bellingham, positioned in midfield alongside former Manchester City star Rodri and PSG’s Portuguese playmaker Vitinha, creating an imbalanced 3-3-4 formation.
