The 2026 World Cup already holds the record for the most own goals in the history of the tournament. In the 1/16 final match, the Egyptian team defeated the Australian team in a penalty shootout (1:1, pen. 4:2), and in the 55th minute the Australians, thanks to the Egyptian Mohamed Hani, who cut the ball into his own goal during a struggle in the penalty area after a cross, equalized the score. This own goal was the 13th at the current world championship, which allowed the 2026 World Cup to set a new historical record for the number of own goals. The previous record belonged to the 2018 World Cup, where teams scored 12 own goals in 64 matches. It is also worth noting that for Hani, who had previously also scored an own goal in the group stage match against Belgium (1:1), this own goal was the second in the current world championship. This made the Egyptian defender the first footballer in history with such a negative achievement at a single World Cup. We remind you that Ronaldo came close to Van Persie's anti-record at the World Cup. The new Napoli coach has officially taken office.
