Ghizlane Chebbak continues to strengthen her reputation among the world's leading women's footballers. The Moroccan international and AS FAR captain has been named among the 26 nominees for the 2026 FIFPRO Women's World 11, placing her alongside some of the biggest names in the global game.
The nomination represents another significant recognition for the Atlas Lionesses captain, who previously won the 2025 CAF Women's Player of the Year award. It also marks her second consecutive nomination for the prestigious FIFPRO selection, underlining the consistency of her performances and growing international recognition.
For Moroccan women's football, her presence on the shortlist is another important milestone.
Chebbak Among an Elite Group of 26 Players
FIFPRO has officially announced the 26 players shortlisted for the 2026 Women's World 11, with Chebbak representing Morocco among an impressive collection of international stars.
The list includes Alexia Putellas, the two-time Ballon d'Or winner, and Aitana Bonmatí, one of the most influential figures in modern women's football.
Being included alongside such established names highlights the level of recognition Chebbak has earned through her performances for club and country.
Her nomination is particularly meaningful given her leadership role with both AS FAR and the Moroccan national team, where she has become one of the most influential figures in the country's women's football development.
A Unique Award Chosen by Professional Footballers
The FIFPRO Women's World 11 is different from many other individual football awards because its winners are selected exclusively through votes from professional footballers.
For the 2026 edition, 6,511 professional women footballers from around the world participated in the voting process.
That makes the nomination especially significant: Chebbak's recognition comes through a process involving fellow professionals who understand the demands, quality and consistency required to perform at the highest level.
The final eleven will represent the players considered by their peers to have delivered outstanding performances during the eligibility period.
Another Moroccan Nomination on the Global Stage
Chebbak is not the only Moroccan footballer attracting attention in this year's FIFPRO World 11 selections.
Achraf Hakimi has also been included among the 26 nominees for the 2026 FIFPRO Men's World 11, giving Morocco representation on both the women's and men's shortlists.
The simultaneous nominations of two leading Moroccan internationals underline the growing presence of the country's footballers in global recognition.
For the Atlas Lionesses, Chebbak's achievement also sends an encouraging message to the next generation of Moroccan players, demonstrating that their performances can earn recognition alongside the world's best.
November 9: The Final Team Will Be Revealed
The wait for the final selection is almost over. The 2026 FIFPRO Women's World 11 will be unveiled on November 9, during a ceremony bringing together some of the biggest stars in international football.
Whether Chebbak secures a place in the final eleven remains to be seen. However, earning a second consecutive nomination is already a significant achievement for the Moroccan captain.
From leading the Atlas Lionesses to standing alongside the world's elite, Ghizlane Chebbak continues to carry Moroccan women's football onto the global stage.
