The Ballon d’Or goes to the player adjudged to have had the best overall game – more or less the most important player of the tournament. Argentina’s Lionel Messi has won it twice, including the 2022 tournament. Argentina (three), Brazil (two) and Italy (two) are the only countries to have won more Golden Balls since the award was made official in 1982. Messi dominates the market as he chases an unprecedented third Golden Ball, England’s Jude Bellingham celebrates scoring back-to-back goals and Spain captain Rodri gets on the scoreboard following La Roja’s run in the final stages.

Golden Glove odds

The Golden Glove is awarded to the best goalkeeper in the tournament, as decided by a panel of FIFA experts. Argentina’s Emiliano Martinez, who had three clean sheets, won the prize at Qatar 2022 and is still in the hunt, although the knockout runner has damaged his case this time around. Spain’s Unai Simon came out on top after scoring five goals and a record 649 minutes of shutouts, the longest in World Cup history, which is now confirmed for Sunday’s final. Jordan Pickford from England is the one who collected the remaining players.

FIFA Young Player Award

Since 2006, FIFA has honored the tournament’s best under-21 player. Kylian Mbappe (2018) and Enzo Fernandez (2022) from Argentina are the latest winners. Spanish youngster Lamine Yamal has emerged as a potential winner after helping Spain reach the final. The 19-year-old scored a penalty which Mikel Oyarzabal converted for the first goal in the semi-final win over France.
