استبعاد لامين يامال.. القائمة النهائية لجائزة الفتى الذهبي 2026
(opens the publisher’s site)Tuttosport has published the 25-player final shortlist for the 2026 European Golden Boy award, excluding 2024 winner Lamine Yamal.
- Tuttosport unveiled the 25-player final shortlist for the 2026 Golden Boy award on Monday.
- Barcelona's Lamine Yamal was omitted despite ranking second, as rules bar any player from winning the award more than once.
- A jury of 50 European journalists will choose the winner, with the result announced at a November press conference.
- The Premier League contributes eight nominees, the most of any league, while Barcelona leads clubs with three.
- Manchester City's Moroccan midfielder Ayub Ouaddi is the only Arab player on the 25-man shortlist.
