A total of 32 teams reached the 2018 World Cup, including 14 European, 5 South American, 5 African, 3 North American, 5 Asian countries.[73] The 2018 FIFA World Cup had many notable absences of teams including The Netherlands, Italy, Ghana and the United States.[74]
Coaches
- Oldest coach: Óscar Tabárez Uruguay - 71 years and 104 days in the first game against Egypt, after Otto Rehhagel (71 years and 317 days at the 2010 World Cup), he is the second oldest World Cup coach.[75]
- Youngest coach: Aliou Cissé Senegal - 42 years and 87 days in the first game against Poland.
- Country with most coaches: Argentina with four coaches, alongside Argentina, Egypt, Colombia and Peru are coached by Argentines. This is followed by Spain with three coaches (Belgium, Saudi Arabia and Spain), then Germany, France, Colombia (with the Colombian coaches serving only other teams as in 2014) and Portugal with two coaches each.
- Teams with foreign coaches: Twelve teams are trained by foreign coaches, including two teams (Australia and Denmark) of coaches whose home countries (Netherlands and Norway) did not qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
- Longest serving coach: As in 2014, the longest serving team coaches of the World Cup are Joachim Löw and Óscar Tabárez, who have been in charge of the German and Uruguayan national teams since 2006. Tabárez, however, was previously coach of Uruguay from 1988 to 1990, while Löw have worked as an assistant coach for Germany since 2004. Besides them, Didier Deschamps France, José Pékerman Colombia and Carlos Queiroz Iran were at the 2014 World Cup with their current teams and Jorge Sampaoli Argentina with Chile and Fernando Santos Portugal with Greece at the 2014 World Cup.
- Shortest serving coach: The coach having the shortest time in charge is Fernando Hierro Spain, who became in charge only two days before his team's first game. In addition to him were Mladen Krstajić Serbia, Bert van Marwijk Australia, Akira Nishino Japan and Juan Antonio Pizzi Saudi Arabia who resumed duty as coach only after the successful qualification of their current teams. Of these, however, van Marwijk had qualified with Saudi Arabia for the World Cup, but then refused to renew his contract.
- Coaches who were former players: Didier Deschamps (France / 1998) became world champion having previously contested as a player, equaling the record of Mário Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer. Beside him, Aliou Cissé (Senegal / 2002), Gareth Southgate (England / 1998 and unused in 2002), Óscar Ramírez (Costa Rica / 1990), Adam Nawałka (Poland / 1978), Fernando Hierro (Spain / 1994, 1998, 2002 and unused in 1990), Stanislav Cherchesov (Russia / 1994 and unused in 2002) and Mladen Krstajić (Serbia / 2006 with Serbia & Montenegro) were also coaches who previously played at the World Cup.
Players
- Appearance record: Rafael Márquez Mexico participated in the World Cup for the fifth time, equaling the record of compatriot Antonio Carbajal and Germany player Lothar Matthäus
- Oldest player: At 45 years and five months, Essam El Hadary Egypt is the oldest player ever to be nominated for a World Cup finals. By his use in the last group match on June 25, he was 45 years and 161 days, thereby becoming the oldest World Cup player.[76]
- Youngest player: Daniel Arzani Australia is the youngest player at the age of 19 years and 163 days. He came on in the group match against France in the 84th minute.[77]
- Sofyan Amrabat Morocco, who came on as a substitute for his brother Nordin Amrabat in the 76th minute in the group match against Iran, is the first player in World Cup history to come in for his brother.[75]
- Aleksandr Yerokhin Russia is the first player to feature as the fourth substitute player in a World Cup match - coming on in the 97th minute of extra time in the Round of 16 match against Spain. This match is also the first ever World Cup match in which eight players have been substituted.[78]
- 30 teams nominated at least one player from the domestic league, but only England exclusively fielded players of its own domestic league.[79] By contrast, Sweden and Senegal nominated only players from foreign leagues.
- The most players (129) are active in clubs based in England, the majority of them in the Premier League, with some in the lower leagues. In total 27 of the 32 team squads have players who play in England.
- One player each plays in the leagues of Finland, Guinea, Honduras, Norway, Paraguay, Romania, Slovakia and South Africa.
- From the leagues of countries that did not qualify for the World Cup, the Italian Serie A have the strongest representation with 58 players.
Discipline
In total, only four players were sent off in the entire tournament, the fewest since 1978.[80] International Football Association Board technical director David Elleray stated a belief that this was due to the introduction of VAR, since players would know that they would not be able to get away with anything under the new system.[81]
A player is automatically suspended for the next match for the following offences:[82]
- Receiving a red card (red card suspensions may be extended for serious offences)
- Receiving two yellow cards in two matches; yellow cards expire after the completion of the quarter-finals (yellow card suspensions are not carried forward to any other future international matches)
The following suspensions were served during the tournament:
