Spain won the 2026 FIFA World Cup, defeating Argentina 1-0 after extra time.
Fabián Ruiz (85 kg) and Gavi (68.5 kg) each received their body weight in Bombón Colorao tomatoes from the Los Palacios Tomato Producers Association.
The tradition, dating back to 2010, honors athletes from Los Palacios y Villafranca, with Jesús Navas having received the same tribute after Euro 2024.
The players were welcomed with a civic reception and plans for a permanent monument to commemorate Spain's World Cup victory.
