In football, players wear numbers on their shirts so fans and teammates can easily identify them during games. The numbers 1 to 11 often go to the starting players, but nowadays players choose their numbers based on personal reasons too.
In this list, we’ll look at the best player for each number, from 1 to 23. We’ve picked them based on how well they’re playing right now, not just their reputation. So, even great players might not make the list if they’re not in good form at the moment.
It’s a celebration of the top players wearing each number, showing their skill and impact on the game of football.
