2026 Yashin Trophy goalkeeper nominations

Overview

Several prominent goalkeepers have been nominated for the 2026 Yashin Trophy as part of the Ballon d'Or awards.

Cape Verdean goalkeeper Josimar José Évora Dias, known as ‘Vozinha’, received a nomination following his performance in the 2026 World Cup. During that tournament, he helped lead Cape Verde to the round of 32, recording clean sheets against Spain and Saudi Arabia, securing a draw against Uruguay, and ultimately falling 3-2 to Argentina in a knockout match. The 40-year-old veteran, who currently plays for Colo Colo in Chile, has dedicated his historic nomination to the people of Cabo Verde.

Senegalese goalkeeper Édouard Mendy has also been named among the ten nominees. His candidacy follows a season where he led Al-Ahli to a second consecutive AFC Champions League title and earned the Golden Glove in the Saudi Pro League. Internationally, Mendy was a key figure in Senegal’s victory at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
