#BinancePickAndWin What do the Golden Ball and Golden Boot trophies of the 2026 World Cup look like?
On June 11, FIFA announced the design of the prestigious individual awards for the 2026 World Cup, featuring familiar distinctive details.
Just hours before the tournament kicks off on Mexican soil, FIFA revealed the appearance of the individual trophies for standout names in each category: the Golden Ball (best player), the Golden Glove (best goalkeeper), and the Golden Boot (top scorer). Sponsored by adidas, this year’s design still keeps the traditional style, with the trophies plated in gold and featuring elegant lines.
Since the 1982 World Cup in Spain, players have started competing for the two awards: the Golden Ball and the Golden Boot. Meanwhile, the Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeper was introduced in 1994, initially called the Lev Yashin Award before being renamed in 2010.
