The clubs with the most players at the 2026 World Cup

The 2026 FIFA World Cup squads have been named with players from around the globe called up to represent their nations this summer.

No team at the tournament will have a higher representation than Manchester City, who have had 19 members of their squad called up for the World Cup.

The Cityzens’ call-ups include four members of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad, Portuguese representation in Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva and Matheus Nunes, and World Cup debutant Erling Haaland.

Bayern Munich are ranked second with 18 players, seven of which are part of the Germany squad, with Champions League finalists Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain third (16) for representation.

Incredibly, Europa Conference League winners Crystal Palace have more players called up for the World Cup (12), than Real Madrid (10). Spain named a World Cup squad without a Real Madrid player for the first time in history, with Dean Huijsen, Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Carreras among those omitted.
