FIFA Club World Cup awards

The FIFA Club World Cup is an international association football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body.[1] The championship was first contested as the FIFA Club World Championship in 2000.[2] It was not held between 2001 and 2004 due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure.[3] Following a change in format which saw the FIFA Club World Championship absorb the Intercontinental Cup, it was relaunched in 2005 and took its current name the season afterwards.[4]

The current format of the tournament involves seven teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about two weeks; the winners of that year's edition of the Asian AFC Champions League, African CAF Champions League, North American CONCACAF Champions League, South American Copa Libertadores, Oceanian OFC Champions League and European UEFA Champions League, along with the host nation's national champion, participate in a straight knock – out tournament.[1]

At the end of each FIFA World Cup final tournament, several awards are attributed to the players and teams which have distinguished themselves from the rest in different aspects of the game. Spanish club Barcelona has been the only club to earn every award in one edition, a feat accomplished during the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup. Barcelona, along with Real Madrid, are also the only sides to have earned three FIFA Fair Play Trophies. Lionel Messi is also the only player to have won two Golden Balls and two MVP Final awards. Uruguayan player Luis Suárez holds the record for the most goals scored in one edition (five in 2015).

Awards

There are currently three awards:[5]

  • the Golden Ball for best player;
  • the FIFA Fair Play Trophy for the team with the best record of fair play
  • the MVP of the Final Match Trophy for the best player in the final; first awarded in 2005.

The winners of the competition also receive the FIFA Club World Cup Champions Badge; it features an image of the trophy, which the reigning champion is entitled to display on its kit until the final of the next championship.[6] The badge was first presented to Milan, the winners of the 2007 final.[7] Initially, all four previous champions were allowed to wear the badge until the 2008 final, where Manchester United gained the sole right to wear the badge by winning the trophy.[6]

Each player from the clubs finishing third, second and first also receive one bronze, silver and gold medal each, respectively.[5]

Golden Ball
In 2008 Wayne Rooney became the first player to win the tournament, the Golden Ball, and the top goalscorer in a single edition, a feat that has since been equaled by Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Luis Suárez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
Lionel Messi is the only player to have won two FIFA Club World Cup Golden Balls and two MVP Final Match awards.
In 2015, Spanish club FC Barcelona won all FIFA Club World Cup honours in one edition.
Toyota Motor Corporation, the presenting sponsor of the FIFA Club World Cup, rewards the Most Valuable Player of the Final Match with one of its vehicles.
Deco is the only player of a losing finalist that was voted the Most Valuable Player of the Final Match.

The Golden Ball award is presented to the best player at each FIFA Club World Cup, with a shortlist drawn up by the FIFA technical committee and the winner voted for by representatives of the media.[5][8] Those who finish as runners-up in the vote receive the Silver Ball and Bronze Ball awards as the second and third most outstanding players in the tournament respectively.[5][8]
