Eight 40-year-old players in World Cup
The 2026 World Cup will witness the largest number of players over forty in the history of the tournament, with eight players participating at that age for the first time, compared to only seven across all previous editions from 1930 to 2022. Among them is Ronaldo, who will become the oldest outfield player in the competition, along with other players such as Craig Gordon, Džeko, Musliera, Neuer, Fozinha, and Luka Modrić, some of whom are about to celebrate their fortieth birthdays during the tournament. This remarkable growth reflects the longevity of football careers expected in the 2026 edition, as the tournament has never before seen this number of players in their fifties.
