FIFA Club World Cup 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]

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]

• Barcelona (Deco – 2006, Lionel Messi – 2009 and 2011, Luis Suárez – 2015) and Real Madrid (Sergio Ramos – 2014, Cristiano Ronaldo – 2016, Luka Modrić – 2017, Gareth Bale – 2018) are the only clubs to have earned the Golden Ball award four times.[9][10][11][12]
• Barcelona is also the only club to have earned every award in one edition (2015 Japan).[13][14]
• Lionel Messi is the only player to have won two Golden Balls.[15]
• Cristiano Ronaldo has won most awards (4), one Golden Ball and three Silver Balls.[8]
• Brazilian players have won the most Golden Balls amassing four.[8] They also hold the record for the most Silver and Bronze Balls with five and four, respectively.[8]
• Cristian Bolaños, Dioko Kaluyituka, Mouhcine Iajour, Gaku Shibasaki and Ivan Vicelich are the only non-European and non-South American players who have earned the Silver Ball or the Bronze Ball while playing for a club that doesn't come from the aforementioned continents.[16][17]

Suárez did so in the 2015 semi-final against Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao where he scored all three goals of that match.[38] Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup Final against Kashima Antlers, an equalizing penalty kick followed by two extra time goals. Gareth Bale scored a hat-trick in the 2018 semi-final against Kashima Antlers, where he scored all three of his team's goals before being substituted in less than an hour. Hamdou Elhouni scored the latest hat-trick in 2019 when Espérance de Tunis won 6–2 against Al-Sadd in the match for fifth place.
