Yashin Trophy Shortlists Revealed | MLS News

The 2026 Yashin Trophy shortlists are out, spotlighting the world’s elite goalkeepers — and this year’s field is electric. With 15 nominees split between men and women, the award honors skill, team success, and fair play. Last year’s men’s winner Gianluigi Donnarumma is absent, making room for a fresh champion. Top contenders include Real Madrid’s Courtois, Barcelona’s García (making his debut), Arsenal’s Raya (Golden Glove winner), and two-time winner Martínez at Chelsea. Also in the mix: PSG’s Safonov, Dortmund’s Kobel, Saudi stars Bounou and Mendy, Spain’s World Cup hero Simón, and veteran Vozinha. On the women’s side — now in its second year — Hannah Hampton returns alongside Ann-Katrin Berger, Cata Coll, Manchester City’s Yamashita, and Kansas City’s Lorena. It’s a stacked race — and the keepers deserve every bit of the shine. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
