The 36-year-old was a stand-out performer for the Oceania champions during their brave showing in Japan and joins a star-studded cast that includes Chelsea pair Juan Mata and David Luiz.
The Goal.com website said: “Skipper Vicelich was a rock for his side in their play-off loss to Sanfrecce Hiroshima and was especially adept at clearing crosses sent in by the Japanese side throughout the match. His late header almost drew City even and overall the New Zealand international’s performance was representative of the progress the side has made since last year’s CWC.”
The 85-cap All White appeared at his third FIFA Club World Cup for Auckland City and impressed the selection panel more than the likes of Gary Cahill of England and Chelsea.
Tournament Golden Ball winner Cassio nabbed the goalkeeper slot with Corinthians teammates Allessandro and Chicao joining Vicelich and David Luiz in the Best XI’s defence.
The cosmopolitan selection saw Yojiro Takahagi of Sanfrecce Hiroshima line up alongside Lee Keon-Ho of Ulsan Hyundai and Juan Mata of Chelsea and Spain in a three-man midfield.
The Goal.com strikeforce is equally diverse with Aboutrika of Al-Ahly slotting in alongside Cesar Delgado of Monterrey and Guerrero of Corinthians.
Corinthians won the FIFA Club World Cup title by defeating Chelsea 1-0 in the final in Yokohama on Sunday.
Auckland City were eliminated by Sanfrecce Hiroshima on December 6.
