FIFA WORLD CUP AWRADS

FIFA WORLD CUP AWRADS


At the end of each World Cup final tournament, several awards are attributed to the players and teams which have distinguished from the rest, in different aspects of the game.
There are currently six awards:
• The Golden Shoe (also known as the Golden Boot, since 1982 commercially termed "adidas Golden Shoe") was first awarded in 1930 for top goal scorer;
• The Golden Ball (currently commercially termed "adidas Golden Ball") for best player (first awarded in 1982);
• The Yashin Award for best goalkeeper (first awarded in 1994);
• The FIFA Fair Play Award for the team with the best record of fair play (first awarded in 1978);
• The Most Entertaining Team award for the team that has entertained the public the most, during the World Cup final tournament, as determined by a poll of the general public, first awarded in 1994;
• The Best Young Player (currently commercially termed as "Gillette Best Young Player") award for best player under 21 years of age at the start of the calendar year, first awarded in 2006.
An All-Star Team (currently commercially termed "Mastercard All-Star Team") comprising of the best players of the tournament is also announced for each tournament since 1998.

Golden Shoe - Top Goalscorers
The adidas Golden Shoe Award or Golden Boot goes to the top goalscorer of the FIFA World Cup. Assists serve as a tiebreaker with the FIFA Technical Study Group deciding whether an assist is to be counted as such. The assists will only be counted if two or more players are equal on goals scored. Further ties are settled in favor of the player with the least time played. The award was introduced at the 1930 World Cup for the first time. The 2006 World Cup in Germany was the first time that the Silver and Bronze shoe awards were added to reward the second and third top scorers in the tournament.

1 Some sources credit Nejedlý with five goals, which would make him outright top scorer. However, FIFA considers him as having scored four.
2 In some sources, Leônidas was credited with 8 goals in the tournament, mis-crediting one Brazilian goal in the first-round match against Poland.
3 There was controversy regarding how many goals Brazilian Ademir Menezes scored in 1950, because of incomplete data concerning the Final Round game Brazil vs. Spain (6:1). The first goal had been credited as an own goal by Spanish defender Parra, and the 5:0 goal had been credited to Jair. However, recently FIFA credited Ademir with both these goals; thus he is the 1950 World Cup top scorer with 9 goals.
4 During the tournament, after the group stage match against Costa Rica, Ronaldo logged a protest against the crediting of a goal as own goal, and FIFA granted him the change.
Golden Ball
The adidas Golden Ball award is presented to the outstanding player at each FIFA World Cup finals, with a shortlist drawn up by the FIFA technical committee and the winner voted for by representatives of the media. Those who finish as runners-up in media voting receive the adidas Silver Ball and Bronze Ball awards as the 2nd and 3rd best players in the tournament respectively.

The 2006 World Cup was the first time that the top three players came from fewer than three countries, and the first time that the top three had played in the finals game, although several German players and one Portuguese player were shortlisted. It is also the first time since Gary Lineker in 1986 that the Golden Shoe winner did not place in the top three, although Miroslav Klose was shortlisted. Zidane's winning performance means that the majority of Golden Ball recipients have now come from non-World Cup winning teams. Nonetheless, a player from the tournament winners has always been represented in the top three, with Lilian Thuram finishing the lowest.

Yashin Award
The Yashin Award for the Best Goalkeeper is named in honour of the late Russian goalkeeper Lev Yashin (USSR). The FIFA Technical Study Group recognizes the top goalkeeper of the tournament based on the player’s performance throughout the final competition. Although goalkeepers have this specific award for their position, they are still eligible for the Golden Ball as well, as when Oliver Kahn was awarded both in 2002.

FIFA Fair Play Trophy
The FIFA Fair Play Trophy is given to the team with the best record of fair play during the World Cup final tournament. Only teams that qualified for the second round are considered. The winners of this award earn the FIFA Fair Play Trophy, a diploma, a fair play medal for each player and official, and $50,000 worth of football equipment to be used for youth development.

Most Entertaining Team
The FIFA Award for the Most Entertaining Team is a fairly new accolade for the FIFA World Cup. It is a subjectively awarded prize for the team which has done the most to entertain the public with a positive approach to the game. The award is always organized through public participation in a poll. Recent awards have been determined by an Internet vote which may not fairly and accurately represent fan demographics.

Best Young Player Award
The Best Young Player (commercially termed "Gillette Best Young Player") award was awarded for the first time at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany and given to Germany's Lukas Podolski. The award is given to the best player in the tournament who is at most 21 years old. For the 2006 FIFA World Cup this means that the player had to have been born on or after 1 January 1985. The election took place on FIFA's official World Cup website with the help of The FIFA Technical Study Group.
