Spain's historic defensive record
The governing body highlighted Spain for setting a benchmark that had not been matched before, noting that the European side had let in fewer goals than any previous winners of the competition.
The announcement centred on Spain and placed the focus firmly on the backline that had carried the team through the tournament.
The post appeared from the @FIFAWorldCup account and quickly drew attention across football circles.
Among those who responded was Dr Ahmed Sakr, who shared his thoughts publicly on the same platform.
He expressed approval of the recognition and drew attention to the additional feat Spain had achieved during the campaign.
In his view, the achievement carried extra weight because the squad 'even played more' than in earlier editions.
The acknowledgement from FIFA marked Spain out for the discipline shown at the back throughout their run.
According to the statement shared by the organisation, no other side that had gone on to win the World Cup had previously managed to concede so few goals.
That detail turned the spotlight onto the defensive unit and the way it had remained organised from the opening matches through to the final.
