The report credits Haaland with seven goals in five matches, including two against Brazil. He is also said to have taken 27.5% of the forward vote, a strong return in a field featuring elite attacking names.
That production gave Norway a clear focal point during its historic run. Haaland’s selection was not based solely on reputation: the reported scoring rate placed him at the centre of decisive moments, while Norway’s quarterfinal appearance provided the team context behind his recognition.
The wider fan-picked XI reportedly includes Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, underlining the level of competition for places.
Vozinha reportedly led the goalkeeper voting with 39.6%, despite a very different profile from Haaland. The update highlights his performance in Cape Verde’s draw with Spain, the side that went on to win the tournament.
At 40, Vozinha’s reported selection also carries a late-career dimension. The goalkeeper is described as being without a club after leaving Chaves, yet his tournament displays apparently resonated more strongly with supporters than the usual reputation-driven choices.
His inclusion shows how fan votes can reward a single defining campaign. Haaland’s case rests on sustained goal production; Vozinha’s rests on high-impact saves and a historic team journey.
For Haaland, the next challenge is converting Norway’s breakthrough into regular contention at major tournaments. For Vozinha, the attention could influence the conversation around his next club opportunity.
The next chapter will reveal whether their World Cup recognition becomes a lasting part of their international legacy or the peak of two exceptional tournament campaigns.
