He performed exceptionally with the Spanish national team in the 2024 European Championship, where he contributed to winning the title, imposing himself among the football stars and most prominent young talents.

Lamine is distinguished by his strong left foot and skill in dodging defenders, in addition to excellent passes. He suffered a muscle injury that affected his preparation for the 2026 World Cup, but he is expected to recover and be one of the stars of the tournament.
Englishman Harry Kane
England’s all-time top scorer will play in the World Cup after a historic season with Bayern Munich, during which he proved his worth as one of the best players in the world.
Kane, 32, won the Golden Boot award for the top scorer in the 2018 World Cup, and is awaiting his last chance to create glory with the England national team.
Norwegian Erling Haaland
After his brilliance for nearly 10 years with German clubs Borussia Dortmund and English club Manchester City, the Norwegian star will be ready to prove his abilities on the global stage in his country’s national team shirt.
Haaland is likely to lead the Norwegian national team to the knockout rounds thanks to his physical and technical capabilities that exhaust defenders and raise his scoring rate.
Frenchman Kylian Mbappe
The French striker is considered one of the most prominent football stars. He has previously scored 12 goals in 14 World Cup matches, and he can reach 20 goals after the number of teams participating in the World Cup increases.
Mbappe relies on clear strengths such as his speed, movement, and constant ability to score goals, so he remains a difficult threat to stop.
Brazilian Vinicius Junior
The Brazilian striker enters the atmosphere of the 2026 World Cup as one of the most exciting players in the world of football, but his speed and dribbling skills enable him to turn the scenario of any match around.
Vinicius has developed into a more effective spearhead, and Brazil has high hopes for him in winning the World Cup for the first time since 2002.
German Jamal Musiala
He is considered Germany’s most dangerous striker due to his ability to make a difference at any time. He is a nightmare for any defense line, even though he is considered a young player no more than 23 years old, and he recently recovered from an injury that kept him out of the field for a long time.
Musiala previously played for the England U-21 national team, and is currently Germany’s hope of returning the machines to compete for titles.
Frenchman Michael Olise
He could also have represented England, but he will be one of France’s stars in the tournament, after the young winger became one of the best players in Europe since his move to Bayern Munich.
Oliseh, the former English player for Crystal Palace, occupies the right wing position, and remains a dangerous offensive weapon thanks to his runs inside to exploit the strength of his left foot. He is also distinguished by his high skill in dribbling and ball control, as well as speed that exhausts opposing defenders.
