Golden Boot (FIFA Award)
The main criteria for this award is the most goals scored by a player at a World Cup with a secondary tiebreaker coming into play, in the event of a tie, with the player with more assists being given the trophy, followed by minutes played.
Golden Ball (FIFA Award)
This award is decided from a shortlist of players drawn up by the FIFA committee with the winners voted for by FIFA-accredited journalists at the tournament.
Golden Glove (FIFA Award)
This is given to the best goalkeeper at the competition, as assessed by FIFA, with clean sheets the key focus.
FIFA Young Player (FIFA Award)
This award was amended slightly to become an official FIFA award in 2006 with the trophy given to the best U21 player at a World Cup.
France star Kylian Mbappe is the current holder from the 2018 World Cup.
FIFA Fair Play Trophy
This is a team award deciding by FIFA’s disciplinary team based on an assessment of “exemplary fair play” at a World Cup with FIFA praising UEFA for their decision to award Denmark the award at Euro 2020.
The Danish players were recognised for their show of solidarity towards Christian Eriksen on pitch treatment after suffered a cardiac arrest during the group stage clash with Finland.
Goal of the Tournament (Fan Vote)
This award was created by FIFA in 2006, to give fans a greater role in deciding awards, with Maxi Rodriguez, Diego Forlan, James Rodriguez and Benjamin Pavard among the winners.
Most Entertaining Team (Fan Vote)
Another award brought in ahead of USA ’94, as fans cast their vote on a team that has won them over for entertainment value at a World Cup.
No team has won it more than once, ahead of 2022, but France secured the award alongside winning the World Cup as hosts in 1998.
