Battle For Individual Accolade
The adidas Golden Boot is awarded to the player who scores the most goals during the final tournament. If two or more players finish level on goals, the winner will be determined by the number of assists, as assessed by the FIFA Technical Study Group.
If players remain tied after goals and assists are considered, the award will be decided by total minutes played, with the player who has played fewer minutes ranked higher.
