FIFA has unveiled its official Team of the Tournament for the FIFA World Cup 2026, with champions Spain contributing the most players — three — to a star-studded XI drawn from seven nations across a competition staged in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

The side is arranged in a 4-3-3 formation and honours the tournament's standout performers from first whistle to final.

Spain dominate the selection

Spain's title-winning campaign earns the most representation in the XI. Defenders Marc Cucurella and Pedro Porro are both included, as is midfielder Rodri, whose influence was central to La Roja's triumph throughout the tournament.

Runners-up Argentina place two players in the team. Captain Lionel Messi is named in the forward line after yet another exceptional World Cup, while defender Lisandro Martínez also secures his place in the prestigious selection.

France, England, and the tournament's surprise story

France supply three players to the XI: forward Kylian Mbappé, midfielder Michael Olise, and centre-back Dayot Upamecano. England's Jude Bellingham earns his spot after delivering another commanding tournament performance in midfield.

Norway striker Erling Haaland is selected as the central forward, rewarded for a prolific goalscoring campaign that placed him among the competition's most feared attackers.

The goalkeeper position belongs to Cape Verde's Vozinha — arguably the XI's most compelling inclusion. His heroic performances between the posts throughout the tournament made him one of the competition's defining stories, elevating Cape Verde's remarkable run onto the global stage.
