Spain's World Cup winners Fabián Ruiz and Gavi receive body weight in tomatoes from hometown

Fabián Ruiz and Gavi returned to Los Palacios y Villafranca, a town under 40,000 south of Seville, after Spain's 2026 World Cup win. At the town hall reception, each stepped on scales: Ruiz, 85kg; Gavi, 68.5kg. Those figures matched the tomatoes they received — a local tradition the town council calls "a hallmark of the municipality for honouring its great athletes."
