Arsenal defender William Saliba has been named in the FIFA Best Men’s XI for 2024. The announcement was made at the FIFA Best Awards, recognizing the top performers in men’s football over the past year.

Saliba’s inclusion in the team is a testament to his outstanding performances for both Arsenal and the French national team. He played every minute of France’s Euro 2024 campaign, helping them reach the semi-finals. At Arsenal, Saliba was instrumental in the team’s defensive solidity, with the Gunners conceding the fewest goals in the Premier League last season.

The FIFA Best XI for 2024 also includes notable names such as Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa), Ruben Dias (Manchester City), Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Rodri (Manchester City), Erling Haaland (Manchester City), Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), and Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid).

Saliba’s consistent excellence and impact at both ends of the pitch have earned him this prestigious recognition.
