Know about the all-time winners list of the FIFA World Cup Golden Boot
Each FIFA World Cup final competition concludes with the distribution of many awards to the players and teams who succeeded in various game-related categories.
The Golden Boot is one of the five noteworthy prizes.
FIFA World Cup Golden Boot Award Winners List Of All Time
The FIFA World Cup’s leading scorer receives the Golden Boot or Golden Shoe award. While the top goal scorers were listed after each World Cup, the Golden Shoe award was first presented in 1982. In 2010, Golden Boot became its new name. FIFA occasionally includes the Golden Boot winners who scored the most goals in prior Cups.
Since 1994, the player with fewer goals from penalties wins the tie-breaker if there are multiple players with the same number of goals. The player with more assists loses the tie-breaker if there are multiple players with the same number of assists, with the FIFA Technical Study Group deciding whether an assist should be counted as such. If there are still many players, the player who has played the fewest games and has a higher goal average since 2006 wins the tie-breaker.
