England Finish Third, But Fifa World Cup Muslim Stars Continue to Shape the World Cup Story

England secured third place after defeating France 6-4. Here’s how Muslim footballers shaped the World Cup semi-finals and who now features in the final.

Lamine Yamal, Bukayo Saka and other Muslim footballers who influenced the 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout stage.

Passing Excellence

While Rodri tops the tournament for completed passes overall, several Muslim players have quietly excelled in midfield distribution.

Notable performers include:

  • Enzo Fernández (Argentina) among tournament leaders for completed passes.
  • Leandro Paredes consistently controlling Argentina’s tempo.
  • Azzedine Ounahi continuing to rank among Morocco’s most progressive passers despite their earlier exit.

Defensive Performances

Several Muslim defenders have once again demonstrated why they are among the world’s elite.

Achraf Hakimi remained Morocco’s defensive leader while also contributing in attack during their impressive knockout campaign. His recoveries, interceptions and overlapping runs were central to Morocco reaching the latter stages once again.

France’s Ibrahima Konaté also delivered strong defensive displays despite France ultimately finishing fourth.
