At the FIFA World Cup, the highest goal scorer gets the Golden Boot award. It is given to the tournament’s top scorer, and if players finish level, assists and then fewer minutes played are used as tiebreakers.

In simple terms:

  • Most goals = Golden Boot.
  • Tiebreakers: assists first, then fewer minutes played.
  • FIFA also gives Silver and Bronze Boots to the second- and third-highest scorers.

If you meant a different FIFA competition, the top scorer prize is usually the same idea: an award for the player with the most goals.
