Michael Olise shatters Pelé’s World Cup assist record

Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise finished the 2026 FIFA World Cup with seven assists, surpassing Pelé’s long‑standing record of six set at the 1970 tournament. He supplied two assists to Kylian Mbappé in the third‑place playoff in Miami, where France lost 6‑4 to England, bringing his tournament total to seven.

Olise’s assists came against Senegal, Iraq (two), Sweden (two) and England (two). He did not score any goals during the competition, and France finished fourth. The new record was confirmed by official FIFA statistics, which have tracked assists since 1966.

The achievement has sparked interest from top clubs, with reports that Olise is keen on a move to Real Madrid, but his primary legacy from the tournament is the historic assist tally.
