Cape Verde's World Cup breakout star Vozinha has officially secured a move to Chilean heavyweights Colo-Colo following his heroic exploits on the global stage.

After five weeks, a record 104 matches played and 308 goals scored, the 2026 World Cup is officially over. From a purely footballing perspective, FIFA's biggest tournament of all time did not disappoint, with 48 teams doing battle across three host countries and the vast expanse of North America. And when 46 of those nations had been whittled away, only the top two ranked teams on the planet remained: Spain and Argentina.

The 2026 World Cup is over, and so is the race for the prestigious Golden Boot - the award given to the tournament's top scorer.

Here, GOAL lists the tournament's most prolific performers.
