2026 FIFA World Cup individual honours crowned: full list revealed here

Ferran Torres’s only goal helped Spain lift the FIFA World Cup for second time with an extra time win against Lionel Messi’s reigning champion Argentina.

The finale saw Enzo Fernandez awarded a red-card for a foul that doesn’t make sense at all on Pau Cubarsi.

The triumph saw many single honors crowned from MVP, Golden Boot to best young player of the tournament.
