It’s our captain’s third inclusion in the squad, which is decided exclusively by professional footballers, having also been selected in 2023 and 2024.

Greenwood was instrumental in guiding City to the most successful season in our history, with the vote taking into account performances between 4 August 2025 and 16 August 2026.
The England international led the Blues to the most successful season in our professional history, which included ending a ten-year wait for the Barclays Women’s Super League title.
City confirming top spot with a game to spare, ending Chelsea’s six-year hold on the crown and pipping Arsenal to the post in a thrilling race.
We also equalled our best-ever points haul in the process and maintained a 100% home record in the WSL for the first time in our history en route to the title.
Greenwood was central to that success, with her five assists from corners more than double that of any other player in the WSL.
She also created the most chances from set pieces among defenders, and the joint-second most across the entire division when also factoring in open play.
A fourth FA Cup triumph – and first since 2021 – came soon after, with Greenwood getting on the scoresheet in a 4-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Wembley Stadium.
Having already placed 26th in the 2026 Ballon d’Or rankings, our captain’s inclusion in the FIFPRO World 11 provides further recognition of her exploits across a memorable 12 months for City.
Everyone at City would like to congratulate Alex on being selected in the 2026 FIFPRO Women’s World 11.
