Spain crowned their historic FIFA World Cup 2026 triumph with a clean sweep of the tournament's major individual honours, collecting three of the top prizes on offer.

Rodri takes the Golden Ball

Spain captain Rodri was awarded the Adidas Golden Ball as the competition's best player — a recognition that confirmed his status as the tournament's dominant midfield force. The award arrived two years after his Ballon d'Or win, cementing his place among the game's elite.

Argentina's Lionel Messi received the Adidas Silver Ball, while France captain Kylian Mbappe took the Adidas Bronze Ball despite finishing as the tournament's standout goalscorer.

Mbappe breaks all-time World Cup scoring record

Mbappe claimed the Golden Boot after topping the scoring charts with 10 goals, lifting his overall World Cup tally to 22 — making him the competition's all-time highest scorer. It was a remarkable individual milestone even as France fell short of the ultimate prize.

Simon shines in goal, Cubarsi earns young player award

Goalkeeper Unai Simon secured the Adidas Golden Glove after a commanding tournament between the posts. Simon conceded just once across Spain's eight matches on their way to lifting the trophy — a record of near-impeccable consistency.

Barcelona central defender Pau Cubarsi was named the FIFA Young Player of the tournament. The youngster was a fixture in La Roja's backline throughout their run to the final against Argentina, producing mature performances well beyond his years.
