Van Dijk's spot in the line-up was confirmed during FIFA's end-of-year award ceremony on Tuesday evening in Doha.
During the 2024-25 season, the Reds' skipper played a crucial role in helping lead Arne Slot's team to a record-equalling 20th league title, featuring in all but one fixture in the heart of defence.
The final XI was determined by a selected expert panel alongside a fan vote on FIFA.com, and is made up of a goalkeeper, four defenders, four midfielders and two forwards.
The Best FIFA Men's 11:
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Donnarumma
Defenders: Achraf Hakimi, Willian Pacho, Virgil van Dijk, Nuno Mendes
Midfielders: Cole Palmer, Vitinha, Pedri, Jude Bellingham
Forwards: Ousmane Dembele, Lamine Yamal
