Top 10 FIFA World Cup Records that Can Never be Broken

10 FIFA World Cup records are listed below that may never be surpassed.

Highest World Cup Match Attendance

Officially, the 1950 Jules Rimet Cup in the Estadio de Maracana holds the record for the largest FIFA World Cup crowd with 173,830 spectators. Informally, the number was 199,854. Because it was the last game in a round-robin style and both teams had a shot at winning the trophy, this match was dubbed the “decisive match.” The title would be decided by the Brazil-Uruguay game; Brazil would win the title with a win or a draw, while Uruguay needed to win the game to claim the title.

Lengthiest Suspension During a World Cup Qualification Round

Roberto Rojas of Chile now has the infamous record for the lengthiest suspension during a qualifying campaign. Following his infamous deed of being injured by a rocket thrown by a Brazilian fan at Chile’s 1990 World Cup qualifier against Brazil, FIFA permanently punished the goalkeeper.

Youngest Coach of a World Cup Team

Juan Jose Tramutola of Argentina currently holds the distinction for being the FIFA World Cup manager who was the youngest. When Argentina played their opening match against France, the Argentine earned the distinction of becoming the World Cup’s youngest coach ever at the age of just 27 years and 267 days. Other noteworthy accomplishments include leading Argentina to victory in the 1929 Copa America and a second-place finish in the 1930 World Cup. Coaching a World Cup team is a goal shared by all managers, and Tramutola accomplished it so young in his life.

Fastest World Cup Goal from a Kickoff

In terms of the quickest goal from the opening kickoff at a FIFA World Cup, Hakan Sukur of Turkey now holds the record. The Bull of Bosphorus had scored 51 goals in 112 games for the senior team. Even in club football, where he scored 260 goals in 540 games, he showed off his ability to score goals. Turkey came into the game after suffering 1-0 losses to both Brazil and South Korea. Since they didn’t want to end their campaign without any hardware, the hosts were motivated to succeed.

Winning the World Cup on their Debut

The only two nations to win the tournament in their inaugural campaigns were Italy and Uruguay. The original 1930 FIFA World Cup was won by Uruguay, and the 1934 tournament was won by Italy. By chance, both had previously won the championship while serving as the hosts. Panama and Iceland will be competing in Russia for the first time. Could they join Italy and Uruguay in having their names recorded in history? The idea certainly appears improbable. They might, however, pull off some surprises and eliminate England and Croatia from their divisions.

Largest Winning Margins in World Cup Qualifying Games

The largest victory margin in a qualifying game versus American Samoa belongs to Australia. In the FIFA World Cup qualifying matches for 2002, they crushed them by a massive margin of 31-0. In the game, other records were also broken. Archie Thompson of Australia also scored 13 goals, shattering the previous mark of 12 set in an international game.

World Cup’s Quickest Red Cards

The FIFA World Cup’s fastest exit is held by Uruguay’s Jose Batista. At the 1986 World Cup, he was dismissed from the game against Scotland after only 56 seconds.

Youngest Official to Officiate a World Cup

Juan Gardeazabal of Spain currently holds the record for being the youngest referee to preside at the FIFA World Cup. At the 1958 FIFA World Cup, Gardeazabal officiated in France’s 3-7 thrashing of Paraguay. At the time, he had just 24 years and 193 days on his age.

Fewest Number of Games Played by a Nation in a World Cup

As of right present, Indonesia has played in the fewest FIFA World Cup games of any country. Dutch East Indies, Indonesia’s previous name, automatically qualified for the 1938 FIFA World Cup. Unfortunately, Hungary destroyed them 6-0 in their opening match to send them home.

World Cup Game with the Most Warnings Issued to a Single Player

Josip Simunic of Croatia now holds the world record for the majority of warnings issued to a player in a World Cup game. He received three yellow cards from referee Graham Poll (61, 90, and 93 seconds) before being sent off in the 2006 World Cup game against Australia.
