Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez won the Golden Glove award at World Cup 2022. Read More
There are a number of different markets available to bet on at the 2022 World Cup. On one hand, you have the monster markets such as the outright winner and top goalscorer, but there are also a series of other interesting markets, one of which is the Golden Glove: awarded to the best goalkeeper at the tournament.
Below you can find all of the bookmaker prices on each keeper in our Odds Comparison Table, then further down the page you can read more about what exactly the Golden Glove is, gain a more comprehensive understanding of the leading betting contenders in Qatar, and also see who has previously bagged the top honour.
What is the Golden Glove?
While attack-minded players scrap it out for glory in the Top Goalscorer Odds, goalkeepers have their own prize in their sights: the Golden Glove Award.
Originated in 1994 and first known as the Lev Yashin Award - named after the Soviet goalkeeper - the award is handed to the most outstanding goalkeeper at the World Cup. Since 2010 it's been called the Golden Glove.
While the top scorer award is based on goals, the Golden Glove isn't necessarily given to the keeper with the most clean sheets - like the Premier League equivalent - or who conceded the fewest goals.
These categories are still obviously major factors in reaching a decision, which is the job of a FIFA Technical Study Group, who pick the keeper that they believe has played to the highest standard throughout the duration of the tournament. So, it can be a bit subjective.
Goalkeepers can also win the Golden Ball - as Oliver Kahn did in 2002 - which is awarded to the best overall player.
Who are the favourites to win the Golden Glove at the 2022 World Cup?
Morocco keeper Yassine Bounou is the leading contender in this market.
Emiliano Martinez (Argentina) and Hugo Lloris (France) also feature, with both players now awaiting the World Cup Final.
Croatia's goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic won't be appearing in the Final but can't be ruled out of Golden Glove contention due to his penalty shoot-out heroics in the last-16 and quarter-finals which helped his country to a semi-final spot.
Who are the former winners of the Golden Glove?
In seven editions we've seen seven different winners of the Golden Glove.
Five of the seven victors also won the World Cup at the same time, with the anomalies the two Belgians: Michel Preud'homme (1994) and Thibaut Courtois (2018).
- 1994: Michel Preud'homme (Belgium)
- 1998: Fabien Barthez (France)
- 2002: Oliver Kahn (Germany)
- 2006: Gianluigi Buffon (Italy)
- 2010: Iker Casillas (Spain)
- 2014: Manuel Neuer (Germany)
- 2018: Thibaut Courtois (Belgium)
