France Football, the sponsor of Golden Ball and Ballon d'Or, selected the best player of the 1966 FIFA World Cup at that time with L'Équipe, and Bobby Charlton became the winner.{{cite news |date=1 August 1966 |title=Oscar especial para Bobby Charlton |language=es |publisher=Mundo Deportivo |url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1966/08/01/pagina-4/931548/pdf.html# |access-date=16 February 2021}}

After the 1978 World Cup, Argentinian magazine El Gráfico held a survey for the best player of the tournament. This was different from the unofficial Golden Ball which is recognised by FIFA.{{Cite web |title=The best players of the 1978 World Cup |url=https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/the-best-players-of-the-1978-world-cup.2109830/ |access-date=22 January 2023 |website=BigSoccer Forum}}

In 1998, the Argentinian newspaper Clarín provided a brief description of each star player dating back to 1930. Some are controversial decisions as is the case with retrospective awards. The 1998 winner was awarded after the tournament ended.{{cite news |date=19 August 2018 |title=Clarin's retroactive World Cup player of the tournament 1930-1998 |url=https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/clarin%E2%80%99s-retroactive-world-cup-player-of-the-tournament-1930-1998.2086244/}}

Golden Boot

{{redirect|FIFA World Cup Golden Boot|the women's award|FIFA Women's World Cup Golden Boot}}

The Golden Boot or Golden Shoe award goes to the top goalscorer of the FIFA World Cup. While every World Cup had a ranking of the goalscorers, the first time an award was given was in 1982, under the name Golden Shoe. It was rechristened Golden Boot in 2010.{{cite web|url=http://championsataglance.fifa.com/#14|title=Champions at a Glance|page=14|publisher=FIFA|access-date=20 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170708072327/http://championsataglance.fifa.com/#14|archive-date=8 July 2017|url-status=dead}} FIFA sometimes lists the top goalscorers of previous Cups among the Golden Boot winners.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/worldcup/awards/goldenshoe.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131220184611/http://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/worldcup/awards/goldenshoe.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 December 2013|title=adidas Golden Shoe - FIFA World Cup Final|publisher=FIFA|work=FIFA.com|access-date=20 July 2014}}

If there is more than one player with the same number of goals, since 1994 the tie-breaker goes to the player with more assists. If there is still more than one player, the tie (since 2006) is decided by minutes played in the tournament, with the player playing fewest minutes ranked first. A Silver Boot and a Bronze Boot are also awarded for the second and third-highest goalscorers respectively.

Golden Glove

{{redirect|FIFA World Cup Golden Glove|the women's award|FIFA Women's World Cup Golden Glove}}

The Golden Glove award is awarded to the best goalkeeper of the tournament. The award was introduced with the name "Lev Yashin Award" in 1994, in honor of the late Soviet goalkeeper.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mcwc/ip-301_03a_fwc-awards_22643.pdf |title=FIFA World Cups: Awards |publisher=FIFA|work=FIFA.com |access-date=2007-06-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160630203029/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mcwc/ip-301_03a_fwc-awards_22643.pdf |archive-date=30 June 2016 |df=dmy }} It was rechristened "Golden Glove" in 2010. The FIFA Technical Study Group recognises 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 in 2002.{{cite web|url=https://footballcoal.com/fifa-world-cup-golden-gloves-winners-list-1930-2022/|title=FIFA World Cup Golden Gloves Winners List|publisher=footballcoal.com|date=|accessdate=1 January 2022|archive-date=28 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928140037/https://footballcoal.com/fifa-world-cup-golden-gloves-winners-list-1930-2022/|url-status=usurped}}
