FIFA has officially unveiled its Team of the Tournament following the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, recognising the standout performers who impressed throughout the competition hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Newly crowned champions Spain, who secured a narrow victory over defending champions Argentina in the final, earned three places in the prestigious Best XI.

Midfielder Rodri, right-back Pedro Porro and left-back Marc Cucurella were all rewarded for their consistent displays during Spain’s successful campaign.

Argentina, despite finishing as runners-up, also had two players included in the selection. Captain Lionel Messi once again demonstrated his enduring quality on the global stage, while defender Lisandro Martinez was recognised for his solid performances throughout the tournament.

France, who exited the competition at the semi-final stage, produced the highest number of players in the team. Star forward Kylian Mbappe, defender Dayot Upamecano and winger Michael Olise all earned spots after playing key roles in France’s impressive run.

Norwegian striker Erling Haaland was selected to spearhead the attack after an outstanding tournament that reinforced his reputation as one of the world’s most dangerous goalscorers.

England midfielder Jude Bellingham also made the cut, standing out as his country’s sole representative in the elite lineup.

One of the biggest surprises in the squad was Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, whose exceptional performances earned widespread praise from football fans and analysts.

His heroics between the posts helped his nation exceed expectations and secured him a deserved place among the tournament’s finest players.

The announcement highlights the remarkable individual performances that defined the 2026 World Cup while celebrating players who consistently delivered at the highest level.

The Best XI combines experience, leadership and emerging talent, reflecting the quality displayed across the month-long competition.

With Spain lifting the trophy for only the second time in their history, the tournament concluded with memorable performances from football’s biggest stars, many of whom have now been recognised through FIFA’s prestigious Team of the Tournament selection.
