Courtois, Simon și Vozinha, printre cei 10 nominalizați pentru cel mai bun portar la Balonul de Aur

Thibaut Courtois, Unai Simon, and Vozinha are among the ten goalkeepers nominated for the 2026 Yashin Trophy, awarded for the best goalkeeper of the season at the Ballon d'Or gala. The list includes both former winners and first-time nominees, making this edition particularly competitive. Courtois, the 2022 winner, is in contention again, while Emiliano Martinez aims for a third trophy after winning in 2023 and 2024. Spain has three representatives: Unai Simon, David Raya, and Joan Garcia, with Simon coming off a World Cup win. Vozinha, at 40, is a surprise nominee after his standout performances in the 2026 World Cup. The winner will be announced on October 26 in London.
