World Cup 2026 squads: Every player at this summer’s tournament | OneFootball

Countries have started naming their 26-man squads for World Cup 2026 in the United States, Canada and Mexico this summer.

With 48 teams involved in the tournament, which starts on 11 June, there will be more players than ever accomplishing their goal of appearing in football’s most famous competition.

Each country must provide Fifa with a final squad of between 23 and 26 players (at least three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the deadline of 2 June, and a subsequently injured player may only be replaced by someone from a previously-submitted 55-man preliminary squad, up to 24 hours before the team’s first World Cup match.

Squads are set to be announced throughout May, with Thomas Tuchel slated to name his 26-man England group on Friday 22 May, while Bosnia and Herzegovina became the first nation to confirm their squad on 11 May.

Group L

England

England are set to announce their squad on 22 May.

Coach: Thomas Tuchel

Croatia

Ageless wonder Luka Modric is set to play at his fifth World Cup, with the 40-year-old selected to captain Croatia. Roger Milla for Cameroon in 1994 is the only previous outfield player in his 40s to have appeared at a World Cup but AC Milan star Modric is set to be added to that exclusive club. Up front, the injury-plagued Bruno Petkovic and the Croatian league’s top scorer Dion Drena Beljo both miss out with the likes of Osasuna veteran Ante Budimir, Dallas star Petar Musa and Freiburg youngster Igor Matanovic preferred instead.

Coach: Zlatko Dalic

Goalkeepers: Dominik Livakovic (Dinamo Zagreb), Dominik Kotarski (FC Copenhagen), Ivor Pandur (Hull City).

Defenders: Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City), Duje Caleta-Car (Real Sociedad), Josip Sutalo (Ajax), Josip Stanisic (Bayern Munich), Marin Pongracic (Fiorentina), Martin Erlic (Midtjylland), Luka Vuskovic (HSV).

Midfielders: Luka Modric (AC Milan), Mateo Kovacic (Manchester City), Mario Pasalic (Atalanta), Nikola Vlasic (Torino), Luka Sucic (Real Sociedad), Martin Baturina (Como), Kristijan Jakic (Augsburg), Petar Sucic (Inter), Nikola Moro (Bologna), Toni Fruk (Rijeka).

Forwards: Ivan Perisic (PSV), Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim), Ante Budimir (Osasuna), Marco Pasalic (Orlando City), Petar Musa (Dallas), Igor Matanovic (Freiburg).
