Awards

After the end of the tournament, the Stewartikan Football Association Technical Study Group (SFATSG) honored the excellence displayed over the course of the tournament with a number of special player awards. The Golden Ball award, SFATSG's Player of the Tournament award, was given to Choppyhausenian striker Jule Corte for his tireless workrate for his country, constant presence and leadership in attack, despite failing to lift the trophy. He was followed by Snestar's goalkeeper Federico Calvaresi who also received the Golden Glove for Best Goalkeeper. Riandera's Ira Budi Dharmawanto who was tied with Calvaresi on clean sheets was not recognized.
