2026 FIFA World Cup – Golden Glove Winner 🧤

Winner: Unai Simón 🇪🇸

Why he won it

Unai Simón was insane this tournament. He won Golden Glove for best goalkeeper.

The stats:

• Goals conceded: 1 in 8 matches
• Clean sheets: 7
• Big saves: 11 saves in the final vs Argentina alone, including a bunch before ET
• Record: First team ever to concede just 1 goal in an entire World Cup

That one goal came in the group stage vs Cape Verde. After that? Nothing got past him.

Final vs Argentina

Even though Argentina had 0 shots on target in normal time, Simón was locked in. He made 11 saves total and kept Spain in it until Ferran Torres scored in 106′.

What people said

• FIFA: “Wall of La Roja”
• Fans: “Only 1 goal in 8 games. That’s not human”
• Spanish media: Called him the safest hands since Casillas 2010
