Za letošnjo listo nogometašev obstaja pogoj, da so mlajši od 21 let. Tudi na seznamu, ki ga sestavlja 100 mladeničev, nihče ni rojen po 1. januarju 1998.
Poleg klasičnih imen v najboljših petih ligah kot so Kylian Mbappe, Christian Pulišić, Patrick Cutrone, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dayot Upamecano in ostalih, je na seznamu tudi član Maribora Jan Mlakar.
Možnosti za nagrado sicer nima ravno veliko (favorit je seveda Mbappe), a že to, da ga je Fifa prepoznala kot velikega upa nogometa, je dovolj dober razlog za veselje tako v Sloveniji kot v Mariboru, kjer igra 19-letnik.
