2025 Yashin Trophy: Nominees for Best Goalkeeper of the Year Announced

France Football has revealed the 10-man shortlist for the prestigious Yashin Trophy 2025 — the award named after legendary Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yashin, given annually to the world’s best goalkeeper.

This year’s nominees are:
Alisson Becker (Liverpool, Brazil)
Yassine Bounou (Al-Hilal, Morocco)
Lucas Chevalier (Lille, France)
Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid, Belgium)
Gianluigi Donnarumma (Paris Saint-Germain, Italy)
Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa, Argentina)
Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid, Slovenia)
David Raya (Arsenal, Spain)
Matz Sels (Nottingham Forest, Belgium)
Yann Sommer (Inter Milan, Switzerland)

Notably, last year’s winner — Robert Sánchez of Chelsea — did not make the shortlist this time around, after a less consistent season between the posts for the Blues.

The Yashin Trophy was introduced in 2019 and has since become one of the most respected individual awards for goalkeepers in world football.

The winner will be announced during the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony, which is set to take place in Paris on September 22.
