Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are among the 23 🍎 players whose names have made up FIFPro's World XI 2024 nominee list in appreciation of their accomplishments and performances.
More than 🍎 28,000 professional football players have cast votes for the players they wanted to see included in the World XI through 🍎 the FIFPro organisation.
Since this is the only award in international football that is selected solely by the players, there are 🍎 a few requirements that must be fulfilled before the players are considered eligible, reported Sportskeeda.
The awards event is to be 🍎 held in London on January 15, 2024.
