Kylian Mbappé picked up the Michelob ULTRA Superior Player of the Match trophy on June 11, 2026, adding another individual honor to a World Cup resume that already reads like a highlight reel.
The award is decided by fan votes, not a panel of judges.
What the award actually is
The Michelob ULTRA Superior Player of the Match is a sponsorship-backed accolade built around fan engagement, distinct from FIFA’s traditional technical awards.
With 104 of these trophies expected to be handed out across the full 2026 tournament, there will be no shortage of winners.
