Jude Bellingham's Historic FIFA World Cup Records

First Player To Score Two Braces In The Same Knockout Stage

Jude Bellingham became the first player in FIFA World Cup history to score two separate braces in the knockout rounds of a single tournament. He first achieved the feat against Mexico in the Round of 16 before repeating it against Norway in the quarter-finals.

Joins World Cup's Greatest Knockout Performers

By scoring braces in consecutive knockout matches, Bellingham joined one of the most exclusive lists in World Cup history. He now stands alongside Diego Maradona (1986), Garrincha (1962), Pelé (1958) and Sándor Kocsis (1954) as players to achieve the remarkable feat. He is also the second-youngest player ever to accomplish it, with only Pelé doing so at a younger age.

Fastest England Knockout Brace

During England's dramatic Round of 16 victory over Mexico, Bellingham scored twice in just 98 seconds. It is now the fastest brace ever scored by an England player in FIFA World Cup history.

Highest Goals By A Midfielder In A Single World Cup

With six goals in the FIFA World Cup 2026, Bellingham has become the highest-scoring midfielder in a single edition of the tournament. No midfielder in World Cup history has ever managed more goals in one campaign.

Equals England's Single-Tournament Goals Record

Bellingham's six goals have drawn him level with Gary Lineker (1986) and Harry Kane (2018) for the most goals scored by an England player in a single FIFA World Cup. It is another milestone that highlights the extraordinary tournament he is enjoying.

Youngest England Player To Reach 50 Caps

Earlier in the tournament against Ghana, Bellingham became the youngest footballer to make 50 appearances for England. He reached the landmark at just 22 years and 359 days, underlining his incredible rise at international level.

Youngest Player To Reach 10 World Cup Appearances

During the Round of 16 clash against Mexico, Bellingham also became the youngest player in football history to reach 10 FIFA World Cup appearances. At 23 years and six days, he broke the long-standing record previously held by Argentina legend Mario Kempes.

Climbs England's All-Time World Cup Goalscoring List

Bellingham's career World Cup tally has now reached seven goals, with one coming in Qatar 2022 and six already in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. That remarkable record moves him into sole possession of third place on England's all-time FIFA World Cup goalscorers list, further cementing his place among the country's footballing greats.
