Harry Kane Reportedly Makes Ballon d’Or History Despite FIFPRO World XI Snub

1 / 2

Harry Kane has reportedly become the first reigning Ballon d’Or winner to miss out on the FIFPRO Men’s World XI. The report says he won the 2026 Ballon d’Or after scoring 73 goals in 65 appearances for Bayern Munich and England. Fellow professionals voted Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi into the forward positions instead. If confirmed, Kane’s omission would break a record that had stood since the World XI began in 2005.
