🏆 FIFA unveil official World Cup 2026 Team of the Tournament - Yahoo Sports

What the report says

OneFootball, in partnership with Yahoo Sports, reported that FIFA has announced its official Team of the Tournament for the 2026 World Cup after the competition concluded. The selected XI is arranged in a 4-3-3 formation and includes players from seven countries, reflecting performances at the tournament staged across Canada, Mexico and the United States.

According to the report, champions Spain have the largest share of the lineup with three players: defenders Marc Cucurella and Pedro Porro, plus midfielder Rodri. OneFootball described Rodri as a central figure in Spain’s title run. Argentina, the runners-up, are represented by Lionel Messi in attack and Lisandro Martínez in defence.

France also have three players named: Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano. England midfielder Jude Bellingham was included after what the publisher called another strong tournament, while Norway’s Erling Haaland was chosen as the central striker following prolific scoring displays. Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha completes the side, with the report highlighting his performances as one of the tournament’s notable stories.

The selection matters because FIFA’s post-tournament XI is a formal recognition of standout individual displays at the World Cup, beyond the final standings. While the list rewards players from the champion and runner-up nations, it also includes figures from teams that did not reach the final, underlining the tournament-wide nature of the award.
