Full List of 2026 FIFA World Cup Award Winners: Spain Lead with Four Major Honours

Spain's memorable triumph at the 2026 FIFA World Cup was capped by a dominant showing in the tournament's individual awards after defeating Argentina 1-0 after extra time in Sunday's final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Luis de la Fuente's side lifted their second FIFA World Cup title, ending a 16-year wait since their maiden success in South Africa in 2010. The Spaniards also etched their names into the record books by conceding just one goal throughout the tournament, one of the greatest defensive performances in World Cup history.

Their remarkable campaign was reflected in the post-tournament awards, with Spain claiming three of the five major individual honours.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri was named the Golden Ball winner as the tournament's best player after orchestrating Spain's title-winning run with his composure, vision and leadership in midfield.

Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon received the Golden Glove after an outstanding tournament in which he helped his side concede only once in eight matches, underlining Spain's defensive dominance.

Teenage defender Pau Cubarsi was named the Best Young Player, capping a breakthrough World Cup campaign in which the Barcelona star emerged as one of the competition's standout defenders.

France captain Kylian Mbappe claimed the Golden Boot after finishing as the tournament's leading scorer with 10 goals in eight appearances. The award marks his second consecutive World Cup Golden Boot and further extends his record as the highest-scoring player in men's FIFA World Cup history with 22 career goals.

The FIFA Fair Play Award went to the Netherlands in recognition of the team's exemplary discipline and sporting conduct throughout the tournament.

Argentina, inspired by Lionel Messi in what is widely expected to be his final World Cup appearance, finished as runners-up after losing the final to Spain, while England claimed third place with a thrilling 6-4 victory over France in the third-place playoff.
