FIFA World Cup 2026 Own Goals Reach Record-Equalling Total of 12
Ellyes Skhiri's own goal in Tunisia's 3-1 loss to the Netherlands marked the 12th own goal at the FIFA World Cup 2026, equalling the record for most own goals in a single men's World Cup set in 2018. This tournament accounts for over 18% of all own goals in World Cup history, with 66 total recorded. Notably, Iraq's Aymen Hussein scored both for and against his team in one match, and Qatar became the third team to have two own goals in a single tournament.
