Argentina’s World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been nominated for the Yashin Trophy, awarded to the best goalkeeper at the Ballon d’Or. Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha has also made the shortlist. A total of 10 goalkeepers have been nominated in the men’s category.

Vozinha came into the spotlight with his impressive performances for Cape Verde on the World Cup stage. He made several outstanding saves at crucial moments, playing a key role in his team’s success. His performances have now earned him a nomination for the Yashin Trophy.

Last year’s Yashin Trophy winner, Italy’s Gianluigi Donnarumma, has been left out of this year’s shortlist. However, Spain’s two World Cup-winning goalkeepers, Unai Simón and David Raya, have both been nominated. Raya’s inclusion has drawn particular attention following his important contribution to Arsenal’s Premier League title-winning campaign.

Argentina’s World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is also on the list. His consistent performances for both club and country have earned him another place in the race for the Yashin Trophy.

The 10 nominees in the men’s category are: Yassine Bounou (Al Hilal/Morocco), Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid/Belgium), Gregor Kobel (Dortmund/Switzerland), Joan Garcia (Barcelona/Spain), Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa and Chelsea/Argentina), Edouard Mendy (Al Ahli/Senegal), David Raya (Arsenal/Spain), Matvey Safonov (PSG/Russia), Unai Simón (Athletic Bilbao/Spain) and Vozinha (GD Chaves/Colo-Colo/Cape Verde).

Five goalkeepers have also been nominated for the Yashin Trophy in the women’s category. Last year’s winner, Hannah Hampton, has been nominated again. She is joined on the shortlist by Germany’s Ann-Katrin Berger, Spain’s Cata Coll, Brazil’s Lorena and Japan’s Ayaka Yamashita.
