Spain Dominate Individual Honours At FIFA World Cup 2026
Fresh from winning the FIFA World Cup 2026 title, Spain also swept the tournament's top individual awards, underlining their outstanding campaign from start to finish.
Midfielder Rodri was named the tournament's Golden Ball winner after playing a key role in Spain's march to the title.
The captain dictated play throughout the competition and capped off another remarkable international tournament with football's most prestigious individual honour at the World Cup.
Teenage defender Pau Cubarsí received the FIFA Young Player Award following a series of composed displays in Spain's defence. The Barcelona star featured in every match as La Roja progressed unbeaten to the final.
Goalkeeper Unai Simón claimed the Golden Glove after an exceptional tournament in which he conceded only one goal across Spain's eight matches, helping his side secure a second World Cup crown.
Although France fell short of the title, captain Kylian Mbappé finished as the competition's top scorer with 10 goals to win the Golden Boot.
The forward also made history by becoming the World Cup's all-time leading scorer with 22 career goals in the tournament.
Argentina captain Lionel Messi earned the Silver Ball and Silver Boot, while England midfielder Jude Bellingham collected the Bronze Boot.
Mbappé also received the Bronze Ball, and the Netherlands were honoured with the FIFA Fair Play Trophy.
