World Cup Statistics
Here are the updates regarding the 2026 World Cup tournament. Arab teams have played 8 matches so far, with 4 draws and 4 losses, most of them in the second half, amid clear defensive pressure on most teams except Morocco. Messi is leading the top scorers’ list with 16 goals, and older players continue to be widely involved, with two players aged 39 and five over 40 years old, including Luka Modric. The oldest player is Craig Gordon at 43. The tournament is experiencing record-breaking attendance, with some matches drawing more than 280,000 spectators. The number of penalties awarded has dropped to just two compared to the 2022 and 2018 editions, reflecting the impact of refereeing adjustments and VAR technology on the game. Matches have ended in a draw in 9 of the 21 games played so far, with expectations that the draw phenomenon will continue during the group stage.
