The 2023 award will be based on performances from August 1, 2022 to August 20, 2023.
Winners will be announced on Monday, January 15 at The Best FIFA Football Awards in London.
Meanwhile, Manchester United had no players nominated for the men’s award, even though former striker Cristiano Ronaldo made the cut despite playing his football against washed up stars and postmen in Saudi Arabia these days.
We would like to wish Earps and Toone the very best with getting into the World XI. It’s an achievement alone to be nominated for a place in the team.
