VOTING CLOSES TODAY FOR UEFA.COM USERS´ TEAM OF THE YEAR 2011

The poll, in its 11th year, gives the users of UEFA.com the chance to pick a team of players who have lit up the European game over the last 12 months. Voting will run until 12.00CET on Thursday 5 January, before the final lineup is announced on Wednesday 18 January on UEFA.com and in the January edition of Champions, the official UEFA Champions League magazine. A total of 55 players and five coaches have been nominated to fill 11 positions on the pitch and one in the dugout. The nominees were selected by UEFA.com staff writers based on their daily coverage of football across the length and breadth of Europe. The players were chosen for their performances for a European club or national team, or in a UEFA club competition in 2011. The UEFA.com Team of the Year is not intended to rival more established awards and does not bear the official UEFA imprimatur. However, it has proved hugely popular with fans since its inception, with five million votes cast last year alone.  UE
