For this purpose, a voting card with a preselection of 55 outstanding players from the previous season will be sent to all professional footballers organized under the FIFPro. A team consisting of a goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three strikers must then be put together from these.

Since 2009, FIFPro and FIFA have decided to jointly search for FIFA FIFPro World XI , although the electoral process has not changed.
