Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has been rewarded for his superb form of the past 12 months, earning his first nomination for the FIFA World XI, the Spanish professional soccer players' association said on Monday (Spanish time).
Iker Casillas, the stalwart backstop for Real Madrid and Spain, is another of the five nominees for the position of starting goalkeeper.
Who should be the goalkeeper in the 2012 FIFA World XI?
The Spaniard has been a member of the past four football World XI squads.
The remaining competitors for the spot with this year's team are Italy's Gianluigi Buffon, Juventus; Czech veteran Peter Cech, Chelsea and German Manuel Neuer, Bayern Munich.
The winner is to be chosen in a vote of more than 45,000 players from across the globe and announced at a January 7 gala where world soccer's governing body will present its Ballon d'Or award for world player of the year.
The World XI consists of a goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards.
List of nominees for the defender, midfielder and forward slots will be released in three separate batches in the next week-and-a-half.
Besides Casillas, the 2011 World XI included fellow Spaniards Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta.
The elite team also featured as Brazilian Daniel Alves, Nemanja Vidic of Serbia, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, English striker Wayne Rooney and Argentina's Lionel Messi.
