Spain dominated the individual award categories at the 2026 World Cup, with Rodri named player of the tournament after leading his country to the trophy on Sunday.

Rodri was the mastermind of the Spanish midfield in North America and deservedly took the adidas Golden Ball Award for the tournament’s best player, as the European champions lifted the trophy for a second time.

The midfielder played all eight matches for La Roja and was influential for Coach Luis de la Fuente’s side, which also made history by becoming the first World Cup-winning team to concede just one goal across an entire competition.

Although France fell short and lost to England in the third-place play-off, Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe collected the Golden Boot as the highest scorer after netting ten goals in eight matches.

Spain’s Unai Simon was awarded the Golden Glove, having recorded seven clean sheets in eight matches to claim the prize. His compatriot, Pau Cubarsi, clinched the FIFA Best Young Player Award.
