The 2026 World Cup held across the United States, Canada and Mexico is already a record-breaking tournament.
With 48 teams, it is comfortably the largest World Cup in history, introducing a 50% increase from the 32 teams that have participated since the 1998 World Cup in France.
But there are plenty more records that could be broken this year, including the most minutes played, most individual goals and most team goals.
Here is a look at some of the current World Cup record holders and how their place in the history books could be affected in the coming weeks.
In the 96-year history of the men's Fifa World Cup, just eight nations have won the tournament. Of those eight, six have done it multiple times.
