The ceremony includes the awarding of medals, with the 2026 World Cup continuing the tradition of recognizing the teams that finish on the podium. The main prize for every player at the 2026 World Cup is lifting the trophy, but the champions, runners-up and third-place team will also receive medals after reaching the podium. FIFA awards gold, silver and bronze medals to recognize the teams that finish in the top three positions of the competition. The champions receive gold medals after the final, while the losing finalist and third-place winner receive silver and bronze medals respectively. Unlike the championship rings introduced for the first time in 2026, medals have been part of the tradition for decades. Their design changes for each edition of the tournament, but they remain one of the most important individual items players receive after achieving success. Gold medals: How many are awarded, what they’re made of, and their estimated value The gold medals are awarded to the players, coaches and staff of the team that wins the World Cup final. FIFA does not publicly reveal the exact materials or value of the medals for the 2026 edition, but their importance comes from being awarded to the champions of the biggest tournament in soccer. Medals on auction are not easy to get for collectors (Rich Fury/Getty Images) Runner-up medals: Material, appearance, whether they’re silver The runners-up receive silver medals after losing the World Cup final. Despite their name, the exact materials used for the medals have not been publicly confirmed by FIFA for the 2026 edition. Third-place medals: Who receives them and what they look like The bronze medals are awarded to the team that wins the third-place match. The players and staff of that team receive the medals as recognition for their achievement in the competition. Does fourth place get medals? No. The team that loses the third-place match does not receive medals. Can players keep their medals? Yes. The players, coaches and staff members who receive World Cup medals keep them as a personal recognition of their achievement in the competition. How much are World Cup medals worth? The exact value of the World Cup medals has not been confirmed, albeit a gold medal from 2018 was sold for more than $70,000 by Julien’s Auctions to show that their value can go beyond the materials used. Their importance comes from their rarity and the achievement they represent, as only players and staff from teams that finish on the podium can obtain them.

Despite France arriving as the clear favorites, they were convincingly defeated by Spain. After failing to reach the 2026 World Cup final, French legend Thierry Henry analyzed their defeat, making it clear the tactical reason why their opponents came away with the victory. France came into the 2026 World Cup semifinal as the clear favorites to reach the final. However, Spain managed to surprise them, limiting their attacking threat and cruising to a comfortable victory. As a result, the criticism has not taken long to arrive, as they looked very flat collectively and their powerful attack was nowhere to be seen. In response, French legend Thierry Henry analyzed the main reason behind their semifinal defeat. “When Spain national team takes the ball, they do give you the ball back. You have to go and get it. You need to press a bit better. We couldn’t take the ball off them. The second shot on target was Dembele only… I want to give credit to the whole system and what they put in place because Spain never used to win like that and now they win at every level… So well done Spain, sorry for my country,” says Thierry Henry, via Fox Sports. Although statistically the possession was fairly even, the reality is that Spain were the team that dictated the tempo of the game. They controlled possession throughout the match, creating space and limiting France’s attack. After scoring the two goals, they dropped their pressing line, allowing Didier Deschamps’ team to have the ball but without effectiveness. Thierry Henry highlighted the quality of Spain’s tactical system, as they clearly know how to dominate possession, but also how to sit back and stop their opponents’ progression. Led by Pau Cubarsí and Aymeric Laporte, they were rock-solid in defense, with Pedro Porro and Marc Cucurella also excelling in that aspect. In addition, Rodri and Fabián Ruiz kept Mbappé’s team under control, limiting the spaces they needed to shine. Thierry Henry speaks about how Spain has been successful at every level pic.twitter.com/2WXaxGZKpU— FOX Sports (@FOXSports) July 14, 2026 France shone individually, but failed as a team at the 2026 World Cup Throughout the 2026 World Cup, France established as one of the tournament’s highest-scoring teams. Led by Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé, they shone in the goalscoring department. However, they never became a solid team collectively, relying heavily on individual actions. This was precisely what prevented them from reaching the tournament final for the third consecutive time. Didier Deschamps trusted Adrien Rabiot and Aurélien Tchouaméni completely in midfield. While they were solid defensively, they contributed very little in the creative aspect. Unable to impose a collective style of play, France depended on their wingers to drive the team forward. In addition, Ousmane Dembélé did not have his best collective performance, looking short of ideas, and the head coach decided not to make changes to improve that area. Looking ahead to UEFA Euro 2028, France have one task: To go from being a team full of stars to becoming a team that shines collectively. They would need to strengthen their midfield with players who are more creative, better organizers, and more effective in possession. By learning from Spain’s collective style of play, they could begin a new sporting project, as Didier Deschamps appears to be close to leaving the national team.

France face Paraguay in a crucial 2026 World Cup Round of 16 match, where Aurelien Tchouameni will start the game on the bench due to a physical issue. France face Paraguay in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup at Philadelphia Stadium, and manager Didier Deschamps will be without vice-captain Aurelien Tchouameni for the clash. France are choosing not to take any chances with Tchouameni’s fitness, as he felt discomfort in his thigh during Friday’s training session, and medical scans revealed a minor tear in the groin area. While not considered serious, it was enough for the French medical staff to rule him out of the Round of 16 clash, with Manu Kone stepping into the starting lineup alongside Adrien Rabiot in midfield. While the midfielder will be accompanying the squad from the bench, prestigious French outlet L’Equipe, along with reports from ESPN, indicate that Tchouameni won’t see any minutes in the match against Paraguay, as the priority is a full recovery. Tous derrière vous les gars 🇫🇷👊Coup d’envoi de notre 8e de finale à 23h sur M6 et beIN SPORTS 1 📺#PARFRA | #FIFAWorldCup pic.twitter.com/DWpYVvAe9M— Equipe de France ⭐⭐ (@equipedefrance) July 4, 2026 A huge blow for Deschamps Tchouameni has been a regular starter for France this tournament, featuring in three of the team’s four matches so far, though without registering a goal and just one assist to his name. His absence is a notable blow for Deschamps, who has relied heavily on the Real Madrid midfielder’s presence alongside Rabiot to shield the backline throughout an unbeaten run that included three group-stage wins and a 3-0 demolition of Sweden in the Round of 32. The good news for France is that the injury isn’t expected to keep him out for long. Reports indicate a recovery window of around four days, meaning Tchouameni should be ready to return for a potential quarterfinal matchup against Morocco on July 9 at Boston Stadium.

This important match at the 2026 World Cup presents Croatia slightly below Portugal. A huge match is coming ahead for fans at the 2026 World Cup, with Croatia and Portugal both aiming to reach the next round in a high-level knockout clash. Croatia enter this match ranked 13th in the with 1,723.05 points. They are two spots lower than the June 11 update after a group stage campaign that included a 4-2 loss to England, followed by victories over Panama and Ghana. They have remained inside the top 15 for a sustained period, built around a strong generation led by Luka Modrić, with consistent deep runs in international tournaments even when falling short of titles. Portugal’s ranking Portugal arrive for this clash ranked 8th, a drop of three places compared to the June 11 update. ‘Portugal could not win the group (Robert Cianflone/Getty Images) Their group stage results included a draw with Colombia, a draw with DR Congo, and a win over Uzbekistan, enough to secure qualification but with some fluctuation in their ranking position. Portugal remain one of the strongest international sides, maintaining a high ranking thanks to decades of top-level talent production and consistency in major tournaments. Their highest ranking was 3rd, reached three times, while their lowest was 43rd in 1998. Croatia’s highest ranking The gap between Croatia’s highest and lowest ranking reflects their rapid rise as a national team since independence. They reached their highest-ever position of 3rd in 1999, while their lowest came in 1994 when they were ranked 125th after becoming an independent national team.
The ranking of the USMNT ahead of the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Entering the knockout stage of the 2026 World Cup, the USMNT are in the middle of the pack among the teams still remaining in the tournament according to the FIFA World Ranking. After finishing first in Group D, they now prepare to face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32. The USMNT are currently 15th in the FIFA World Ranking with 1,677.17 points. That is two places higher than in the June 11 update after victories over Paraguay and Australia secured first place in the group before their final match against Turkiye. Their position reflects years of consistency on the international stage, although they are still below their historical peak. The USMNT reached their highest-ever ranking of fourth in 2006, while their lowest position was 36th in 2012. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s ranking Bosnia and Herzegovina enter the match with one of the lowest FIFA rankings among the remaining teams in the competition, but they have already exceeded expectations by reaching the knockout stage. Bosnia and Herzegovina are much lower than the USMNT (Stu Forster/Getty Images) They are currently 61st in the FIFA World Ranking with 1,408.93 points. That is three places higher than in the June 11 update after a draw with Canada, a loss to Switzerland, and a victory over Qatar earned them a place as one of the best third-placed teams. The nation has continued to make steady progress since becoming independent in 1992. Bosnia and Herzegovina reached their highest-ever ranking of 13th in 2013, while their lowest position was 173rd in 1996. Only one team is ranked lower than Bosnia and Herzegovina Among all the teams that advanced to the knockout stage, Bosnia and Herzegovina are ranked higher than only one nation. Ghana, currently 65th in the world ranking, are the only remaining team below them.
With a 2-0 win against Ecuador, Mexico has kept alive its unbeaten record at Estadio Azteca in the World Cup. Mexico has pulled off another statement victory in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, securing a clinical 2-0 win over Ecuador to punch their ticket to the Round of 16, where they await their next opponent. Beyond the massive tournament implications, El Tri continues to maximize its home-field advantage, extending an absolutely flawless historical record at the legendary Estadio Azteca. Julian Quiñones opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, exploiting space behind the Ecuadorian backline and blasting the ball into the top corner, before Raul Jimenez, linking up beautifully with Quiñones, mirrored the feat by slotting home another top-corner strike just nine minutes later. The comfortable 2-0 victory adds Ecuador to the long list of visiting national teams that have failed to solve the riddle of the iconic venue. The triumph marks the 10th consecutive World Cup match in which Mexico has remained unbeaten on the hallowed grass of the Estadio Azteca. Serving as the primary fortress for El Tri across the 1970, 1986, and now 2026 tournaments, the host nation has racked up eight victories at the stadium while grinding out just two draws. The complete history of Mexico’s World Cup matches and results at the Estadio Azteca stands as follows: 1970 World Cup: Mexico 0-0 Soviet Union (Group stage)1970 World Cup: Mexico 4-0 El Salvador (Group stage)1970 World Cup: Mexico 1-0 Belgium (Group stage)1986 World Cup: Mexico 2-1 Belgium (Group stage)1986 World Cup: Mexico 1-1 Paraguay (Group stage)1986 World Cup: Mexico 1-0 Iraq (Group stage)1986 World Cup: Mexico 2-0 Bulgaria (Round of 16)2026 World Cup: Mexico 2-0 South Africa (Group stage)2026 World Cup: Mexico 3-0 Czechia (Group stage)2026 World Cup: Mexico 2-0 Ecuador (Round of 32) Players of Mexico line up prior to the Ecuador game. England or DR Congo up next After the heartbreak of Qatar 2022 (where they infamously failed to advance past the group stage), Mexico has rediscovered its elite form under head coach Javier Aguirre, and with the Azteca serving as their fortress, they look prepared for anyone. El Tri‘s opponent for the upcoming round will be decided by the high-stakes clash between England and the DR Congo, who square off on Wednesday, July 1st. Historically, the times Mexico bowed out as tournament hosts, the heartbreaks occurred away from the Azteca, suffering a heavy 4-1 quarterfinal defeat to Italy in 1970 at the Estadio Luis Dosal in Toluca, and a painful 1986 quarterfinal penalty shootout loss to West Germany at the Estadio Universitario in Monterrey. Having seemingly learned from past structural mistakes, El Tri will have the Estadio Azteca, officially designated as Mexico City Stadium for this tournament, as their home ground for at least one more knockout match. A record-breaking Mexican squad The decisive victory over Ecuador was far more than just another standard advancement in the knockout bracket, it was a flashing warning sign to the rest of the world regarding what this 2026 Mexican squad can achieve. By preserving the 2-0 shutout, they stand alone as the only defensive unit in the entire tournament that has yet to concede a single goal. Furthermore, when factoring in their 2-1 consolation victory over Saudi Arabia in their final group match four years ago, Mexico is currently riding a historic five-game World Cup winning streak, a blistering run of form that sets a brand-new gold standard for the national program.
Uruguay are not among the top contenders ahead the 2026 World Cup. Moreover, their draw against Saudi Arabia has cast more doubts on their prospects, making the match against Cape Verde a really important one. Therefore, we will analyze how a win, a draw, or a loss will affect the Group H standings. Despite Uruguay not being among the top contenders for the 2026 World Cup, they are one of the most historic national teams. Therefore, their draw against Saudi Arabia raised serious doubts about their competitiveness. They face Cape Verde today, one of the most defensive teams, needing a victory to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive. Therefore, we will analyze how a win, a draw, or a loss will affect their position in the standings. Cape Verde impressed in their debut in the competition. Relying on a defensive strategy, they managed to secure an important draw against Spain. With this in mind, they aim to repeat the same approach and take advantage of the opponent’s high press to attack on the counter. Therefore, the presence of Jovane Cabral and Livramento could be key in looking for a goal and then tightening up defensively. Without having a goalscorer in full form, Marcelo Bielsa’s team could have serious problems scoring against Cape Verde. With this in mind, the presence of Maximiliano Araujo and Federico Valverde is key, as they could open spaces on the wings. Additionally, Darwin Núñez would have the chance to shine, scoring his first goal in the 2026 World Cup. However, the midfield could surprise with its scoring power, as they need a victory to chase the knockout stages. What happens if Uruguay win over Cape Verde? In case Uruguay secure a victory over Cape Verde, they would immediately guarantee a place in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32. Nonetheless, they would need to win by a margin of five goals to secure first place in Group H. If they then secure a victory over Saudi Arabia and Spain lose or draw, they would have first place guaranteed, giving them an easier path to reach the final. Players of Uruguay celebrate as Maxi Araujo (not pictured) #20 of Uruguay scores a goal. What happens if Uruguay draw with Cape Verde? After the draw in their debut against Saudi Arabia, Uruguay would complicate their future in the 2026 World Cup if they draw today against Cape Verde. With only two points in Group H, they would need a victory against Spain in the last match. However, they would have a difficult task to secure the first place in the group as they would depend on the results of the other teams. What happens if Uruguay lose to Cape Verde? If Uruguay are defeated by Saudi Arabia, they would be left with only one point in the Group H standings. Against this, they would find it quite difficult to secure their place in the Round of 32, as they would need a victory against Spain. However, they would rule out any chance to have the first place in the group, battling to get a second place or even a best third-placed team.
Eloy Room was the ultimate hero in Curaçao's historic draw against Ecuador, racking up 15 saves to come agonizingly close to shattering Tim Howard’s all-time World Cup record. Curacao made soccer history by securing their first-ever World Cup point in a gritty 0-0 draw against Ecuador. A massive share of the credit belongs to goalkeeper Eloy Room, whose heroic performance between the posts yielded 15 saves—putting him just one stop shy of Tim Howard’s legendary World Cup record. There is, however, a stunning caveat to Room’s masterclass: while the former USMNT star needed 120 minutes of extra time to accumulate his 16 saves, the Curacao shot-stopper reached his 15-save mark in just 90 minutes of regulation. Howard originally set the benchmark with his iconic performance during the Round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where the USMNT ultimately fell 2-1 to Belgium in overtime. Room signaled early on that it was going to be a special night, denying Ecuadorian star Enner Valencia in a crucial one-on-one situation just two minutes into the match. The Netherlands-born keeper was an absolute wall at Kansas City Stadium, rightfully earning Man of the Match honors. Eloy Room, the 37-year-old USL goalkeeper for Miami FC, had FIFTEEN saves tonight for CuraçaoThe 2nd-most all-time in a FIFA World Cup match, just behind Tim Howard 🤯 pic.twitter.com/GE38vKsYTv— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) June 21, 2026 Ecuador unleashed a relentless barrage of 27 total shots, putting 15 on target—all of which were repelled by Room. The veteran keeper booked six saves in the first half before standing on his head in the second half to register nine more. Room continues to headline Curacao’s historic milestones This unforgettable night will live forever in the memory of Room and the entire island nation of Curacao, marking a monumental milestone on the world stage. Incredibly, this isn’t the first time the 37-year-old goalkeeper has orchestrated a historic record-breaking night for his country. Back in 2019, Curacao shocked Honduras with a 1-0 victory to secure their first-ever win in Gold Cup history. The goalkeeper who stole the show that night with exactly 15 saves? None other than Eloy Room.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is heading to the 2026 World Cup well far from its best position ever in the FIFA Ranking. Bosnia and Herzegovina secured its World Cup ticket following a dramatic run through the UEFA qualifying playoffs back in March. The Dragons are now heading to their second-ever World Cup appearance, carrying renewed optimism into the 2026 tournament despite sitting well below their all-time peak in the global standings. In the last official update of the FIFA Ranking prior to the beginning of the 2026 World Cup, Bosnia and Herzegovina is ranked in 64th place with 1387 points. Suffering a drop over the last years, Bosnia’s best ranking in history was when they were sitting in 13th back in August 2013 in the anteroom of the 2014 World Cup. Competing in a highly balanced Group B, Bosnia and Herzegovina faces stiff competition to assert dominance despite its European pedigree. Switzerland currently anchors the top of the group’s rankings at 19th with 1640.92 points, followed by Canada at 32nd with 1551.50 points, and Qatar at 49th after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against the Swiss side. The Dragons navigated a grueling qualification path to book their spot in North America after finishing second in their initial qualifying group. During the high-stakes March playoff bracket, Bosnia first eliminated Wales in a tense semifinal shootout before knocking out four-time World Cup champion Italy on penalties to seal their tournament berth. Bastoni was sent off during the first half of the match between Italy and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 2026 tournament marks only the second time Bosnia has qualified for soccer’s biggest international stage. Their lone prior appearance came during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where they finished group play with a 1-2 record following a narrow 2-1 defeat to Argentina, a 1-0 loss to Nigeria, and a 3-1 victory over Iran. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s World Cup schedule Following a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Canada in their June 12 tournament opener, Bosnia’s aspirations of reaching the knockout stage remain firmly within reach. The Dragons return to the pitch today, June 18, to face Switzerland at Los Angeles Stadium before wrapping up group play against Qatar on June 24 at Seattle Stadium.
