FIFA, the International Federation of Football, published the list of players participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup edition, in terms of preference, from best to least.
The competitions of the World Cup for that edition concluded on Sunday evening, as Spain defeated Argentina with a goal to nil.
Kylian Mbappé, the star of France, received the Golden Boot award as the tournament's top scorer, while Rodri won the award for best player in the competition, his teammate Pau Cubarsí won the award for best young player, and their compatriot Unai Simón received the award for best goalkeeper.
