Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is one of three England players nominated for the 2026 Ballon d'Or.
Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi, who is looking to win his ninth Ballon d'Or, has been nominated.
The 39-year-old scored eight goals as Argentina lost the World Cup final to Spain in July, with Messi since retiring from international football.
Lamine Yamal is one of six Spain players that won the World Cup to be included.
Having scored the winning goal in the final, Paris St-Germain forward Ferran Torres, who joined the French club from Barcelona in the summer, makes the cut.
Back-to-back Champions League winners Paris St-Germain have nine players - excluding new signing Torres - nominated, including last year's winner Ousmane Dembele.
The award is celebrating its 70th anniversary, having been created by France Football in 1956, and the winner will be announced at an ceremony in London on 26 October.
The "symbolic choice of venue" is in tribute to former England player Sir Stanley Matthews, who won the first Ballon d'Or.
