Best young player at the 2026 World Cup revealed! | OneFootball

After the final won by Spain against Argentina this Sunday, UEFA named the best breakthrough player of the 2026 World Cup. Pau Cubarsi, the 19-year-old Spanish centre-back for FC Barcelona, wins this honorary title.

A great reward for a player who is remarkably composed and mature. He quickly took on an important role at Barça and has now established himself as a starter for Spain. That is remarkable, with very solid defensive performances as well as an ease in playing out from the back that is important. Cubarsi also created several chances throughout the World Cup, including 2 in last night’s final. There were other contenders, but the defender is still a very worthy winner.
