  • Uefa.Com Team of the Year 2006
    Media Release Date: 06/12/2006 Communiqué aux médias No. 139 Medien-Mitteilung uefa.com Team of the Year 2006 Fans can vote online until 4 January 2007 Voting opens today for the uefa.com users’ Team of the Year 2006. The poll, now in its sixth year, gives the users of uefa.com, Europe’s football website, the chance to select a team of players who made their mark in European football over the last 12 months. Sixty players and managers have been nominated for 12 positions, including coach, and the final team will be announced on 19 January 2007 on uefa.com and in the January issue of Champions magazine. The nominees were chosen by uefa.com staff writers on the basis of their coverage of football throughout Europe on a daily basis. The players were selected for their overall performances either for a European club or national team, or in a UEFA club competition in 2006. The uefa.com Team of the Year is not intended as a rival to more established awards, and does not bear the official UEFA imprimatur. Nevertheless, it has already proved hugely popular with fans, and over eight million votes have been cast in previous polls. European champions FC Barcelona have the most nominees with eleven, while UEFA Champions League runners-up Arsenal have seven. English champions Chelsea FC have received six nominations and French champions Olympique Lyonnais and UEFA Cup holders Sevilla FC have five apiece. In total, 19 clubs have players nominated. Eight members of Italy’s FIFA World Cup-winning squad plus coach Marcello Lippi have been nominated.
