Six Unchanging 2026 World Cup Milestones
The current edition of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada has witnessed historic record-breaking numbers in scoring and individual achievements, amidst unprecedented organization and the breaking of long-standing fortresses. The 2026 World Cup has become the highest-scoring tournament in history, with 177 goals scored after the group stage, surpassing the previous record of 172 goals set in Qatar 2022. Nevertheless, six records have remained unbroken for decades, including the record for the most goals scored in a single tournament, set by Gust Voighton 68 years ago; the oldest player to participate in the World Cup in the past 8 years; and the youngest goalscorer to score in the tournament, a record held by Pelé for 68 years.
