Who got the golden glove in 2026?

Unai Simón Takes Home the 2026 Golden Glove

Spain's triumph at the FIFA World Cup 2026™ was built on an impenetrable defensive foundation, and no player embodied that resilience more than Unai Simón. The Spanish goalkeeper officially claimed the prestigious adidas Golden Glove Award following a historic campaign that cemented his place among football's elite shot-stoppers.

Throughout the tournament, Simón proved to be a reliable last line of defense for his national team. Commanding his penalty area with calm authority and delivering crucial saves when tested, he registered an extraordinary seven clean sheets across eight matches. Spain conceded just a single goal during their entire championship run, setting a new benchmark for defensive excellence on the world stage.

By capturing the award, Simón becomes only the second Spanish goalkeeper in history to claim the accolade, following in the footsteps of legendary captain Iker Casillas in 2010. His stellar performances under pressure played a pivotal role in driving Spain all the way to global glory.
