UEFA releases nominees for 2022/2023 Men’s Player of the Year

The Union of European Football Associations has release list of nominees for its 2022/2023 Men’s Player of the Year.

The list include Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium & Manchester City), Erling Haaland (Norway & Manchester City) and Lionel Messi (Argentina & Paris, Inter Miami).

The award winner will be announced at the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony, which will take place on Thursday 31 August at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.

How was the shortlist selected?

The initial shortlist of players was selected by the UEFA technical study group based on their performance during the 2022/23 season at both club and national team level.

The top three nominees were then voted for by a jury composed of the coaches of the clubs which played in the group stages of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League, together with the coaches of the men’s national teams of UEFA’s member associations. A group of journalists selected by the European Sports Media (ESM) were also part of the jury.
