How the voting works for the TM World Cup Player of the Tournament
The Transfermarkt community has made a pre-selection of six candidates per position (goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards) from which one must be chosen per position. Next, from the four players chosen, you will decide who is the best player of the entire tournament. Voting closes on July 13 so remember to make your selections by then!
