Two Spanish footballers have been rewarded with a massive amount of tomatoes after returning to their hometown following the country's World Cup victory. Midfielders Fabian Ruiz and Gavi were honoured in Los Palacios y Villafranca, a town in southern Spain. As part of the celebration, each player received 150 kilograms of tomatoes – roughly equal to their own body weight. The gift is a traditional way for the town to recognise local heroes. Ruiz and Gavi both played key roles in Spain's successful World Cup campaign, helping the national team lift the trophy. The tomatoes are a staple crop in the region, and the gesture highlights the community's pride in the players' achievements. The event drew large crowds of fans who came to thank the footballers for their contribution to the team's success. While the reward is unusual compared to typical sports honours, it reflects the agricultural heritage of the area. The town council organised the ceremony, which included speeches and a parade. Both players expressed gratitude for the warm welcome. The honour comes as the football world continues to celebrate Spain's triumph. The tomatoes will likely be used for cooking or charitable purposes.
