Spain wins the FIFA World Cup 2026 and its players receive the top individual honours. Spain’s Rodri is named the tournament’s Golden Ball winner after being judged the best player of the competition. Spain’s World Cup triumph is also linked to a sweep of major awards: Unai Simón receives the Golden Glove for the goalkeeper award, and Pau Cubarsí is named FIFA Young Player of the Year. Kylian Mbappé is awarded the Golden Boot for finishing as the tournament’s top scorer, winning the award again with 10 goals. Multiple outlets also note that Mbappé’s Golden Boot comes even though France does not reach a third straight World Cup final. One report specifically says Lionel Messi does not receive additional individual awards during the ceremony, as Spain takes the other major player honours. Across the sources, the main awards highlighted are Golden Ball (Rodri), Golden Boot (Mbappé), Golden Glove (Unai Simón), and Young Player of the Year (Cubarsí), alongside Spain’s World Cup title.
