Germany national team goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, entered the list of the top 5 players in the history of the World Cup in terms of the number of matches after playing his 23rd match in the tournament. This happened during the 2026 World Cup round-of-16 match between Germany and Paraguay, held at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, United States.
Neuer started the match in the starting lineup, as this match allowed him to reach a number of matches equal to the number of matches of the former Italian defender, Paolo Maldini. Argentine Lionel Messi is at the top of the list of players who played the most matches in the World Cup with 29 matches, followed by Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo with 25 matches, German Lothar Matthaus with 25 matches, and Miroslav Klose with 24 matches.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. The Argentine national team is considered the defending champion after its victory in the 2022 final over France, where the match ended in a 3-3 draw before the Argentines decided it with a penalty shootout 4-2.
