The 2026 World Cup saw the presence of 1,248 players from various national teams. However, many of them did not participate in the matches despite being on the roster, as the fate of some players was decided before the tournament began, while others were not given a chance during the competitions due to injuries, tactical choices, or intense competition for starting positions. Among the most notable of these are Frenchman Ngolo Kanté, who did not play despite his role in France's 2018 World Cup victory; Englishman Kobi Maino, who was sidelined by illness; Spanish player Víctor Muniuz, who missed out due to injury; Spanish goalkeeper David Raya, who remained on the bench even though his team triumphed; Dutchman Jorien Tember, who was not used despite his injuries; and others who either missed the starting lineup or did not play at all.
