Spanish soccer players Fabian Ruiz and Gavi have been rewarded with a unique gift for winning the World Cup – their weight in tomatoes. The two midfielders, who hail from the city of Los Palacios y Villafranca, were given the tomatoes as part of a local tradition.
According to reports, Ruiz received 187 pounds of tomatoes, while Gavi got 151 pounds. The city of Los Palacios y Villafranca is located in the province of Seville, which is known for its tomato production.
The tradition of rewarding champions with tomatoes is a unique one, and it’s not clear what the players will do with their newfound bounty. However, it’s likely that they will have to give some away or find a creative way to use them before they spoil.
