Fifa world cup player

New York New Jersey Stadium: Spanish midfield maestro Rodri has secured the Golden Ball, awarded to the FIFA World Cup Player of the Tournament, for his performances in the 2026 global showpiece.

Spain - already reigning European champions - edged out Argentina in the World Cup final in extra time, with former City man Ferran Torres firing home the game’s only goal.

Rodri was a steady presence in the centre of the park for La Roja in their eight matches, helping them win their second global crown.
