Retired Stars in 2026 World Cup
The 2026 World Cup has seen an unprecedented number of players over the age of 40 participating, with now 8 players at this age. In contrast, previous editions of the tournament recorded only a total of 7 players aged 40 or older. This development results from improvements in physical preparation, nutrition, and recovery methods, which have extended players' careers and enabled them to compete in the most globally renowned tournament. The oldest among them is goalkeeper Craig Gordon, who is 43 years old. The goalkeeper position remains a key factor allowing players to continue competing at advanced ages.
