The 10 most tired teams at the World Cup 😪 | OneFootball

Are Les Bleus already at a disadvantage?

This Thursday evening will see the start of the first 48-team World Cup in history. A longer, more grueling competition, reflecting recent seasons in which players are playing more and more matches.

With that in mind, the BBC put together a "fatigue ranking" for the top 10 nations in the FIFA rankings. To do so, the British media outlet totaled the minutes played by each team's players since June 15, 2025.

And the news is not good for Les Bleus, who sit quite comfortably at the top of this ranking with 98,895 minutes played. Maxence Lacroix is also the French player who has played the most minutes (5,009).

With the high temperatures expected in the United States, that accumulated fatigue could prove costly for France... or for other nations.
