The prestigious FIFPRO awards are the only global football accolades decided exclusively by players and this year 6,511 women’s footballers from 64 countries have voted for their team of the year, with the Chelsea quintet among the 26 finalists.

The XI will be made up of one goalkeeper, three defenders, three midfielders and three strikers, plus the one remaining player with the most votes. The team will be revealed by FIFPRO on Monday 9 November at 1pm UK time, when Beever-Jones, Bronze, Carpenter, Hampton and McCabe will all be hoping to represent Chelsea on the final list.

Last season, Bronze made history by being named in the XI for a record eighth time, while Hampton and our former captain Millie Bright were also included in the team of the world's best players in 2025.

Congratulations and good luck, Blues!
