Lamine Yamal nominated for 2026 Onze d'Or

Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal, 19, has been nominated for the 2026 Onze d'Or, the fan‑voted award presented by French magazine Onze Mondial. This is his second consecutive nomination after finishing runner‑up in 2025 by a narrow 2.5 % margin, the same gap that saw him miss the Ballon d’Or. Yamal, fresh from helping Spain win the World Cup, enters the race alongside stars such as Harry Kane, Ousmane Dembélé, Kylian Mbappé, Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes and Michael Olise. The award, decided entirely by supporters through the magazine’s website, has been given since 1976; Lionel Messi holds the record with four wins. Barcelona also has three players – Pau Cubarsí, Pedri and Yamal – listed in the World XI voting.

The nomination highlights Yamal’s rising profile after a strong season with both Barcelona and the Spanish national team, positioning him as one of the leading contenders for the fan‑based honour.
