The 2026 FIFA World Cup has broken the record for most goals in an edition, surpassing the previous edition’s total.
In 59 matches so far, the tournament co-hosted by the USA, Mexico and Canada has seen 174 goals, while the Qatar World Cup in 2022 had 172.
USA’s Auston Trusty scored the record-breaking 173rd goal in its final group game against Turkey.
The surge in goals is due to the expanded nature of the 48-team World Cup with the number of matches increasing from 64 to 104.
The 2026 edition has gone past the goals tally set by 2022 in just the group stages.
