15 red cards in the 2026 World Cup

The 2026 World Cup saw 15 players sent off, the last being Argentina's Enzo Fernandez, who received his second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Spain's Pau Coparci in the final. The list of players dismissed included several prominent figures, such as England's Jarrell Quansah, Belgium's Nathan Ngoyi, Bosnia's Tarik Mahremovic, Uruguay's Agustín Canobbio, and Ecuador's Piero Hincapie. Also on the list were USA's Folarin Balogun, Paraguay's Miguel Almirón, Mexico's César Montes, Switzerland's Breel Embolo, and South Africa's Themba Zwane and Speweli Sithole. Iraq's Rebin Sulaka and Qatar's Humam Al-Amin and Assim Madibo were also sent off, before Enzo Fernandez completed the list of players dismissed by red card. These figures reflect the strength of the competition and the great friction witnessed in the 2026 edition, which was held with the participation of 48 teams, and witnessed strong matches that ended with Spain being crowned world champions.
