10th place — Conor McGregor.

Irish UFC star Conor McGregor. He has rarely been in the spotlight over the past two years after a horrific leg break during a fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021. However, this did not prevent him from entering the top ten of the sexiest active sports stars on the planet.

9th place — Lionel Messi.

Perhaps named the best footballer of 2023 at the Ballon d’Or ceremony, Lionel Messi only took the ninth spot on this list. The star of Argentina and Inter Miami, who boasts numerous tattoos, is likely to be disappointed with his rating, especially considering Cristiano Ronaldo’s position on the list.

8th place — Rory McIlroy.

Golfer from Northern Ireland, Rory McIlroy, recently made headlines due to his sudden decision to leave the PGA Tour council, but now he’s in the spotlight for his attractive appearance! He takes the eighth spot on this list and is the only golfer featured in it.

7th place — Jack Grealish.

The first Premier League footballer to make it into the list of the ’10 Sexiest Sports Stars’ is none other than Manchester City’s player, Jack Grealish. The former Aston Villa star was often praised for his traditional long locks, which he recently gave up in favor of a new, shorter hairstyle.

6th place — Erling Haaland.

Norwegian football star Erling Haaland, known for his goal-scoring prowess on the field, seems to be attracting attention beyond that now.

5th place — Cristiano Ronaldo.

While his career may be in its twilight, Ronaldo will be pleased to have surpassed Messi on this list. The Al-Nassr forward takes the fifth spot, an impressive feat considering the 38-year-old footballer is the oldest sports star on the list.

4th place — Lewis Hamilton.

In the past few years, Lewis Hamilton’s grip on the Formula 1 crown may have weakened, but it hasn’t stopped him from securing the fourth spot on this list. The Mercedes star is often praised for his handsome looks and well-chosen outfits.
