FIFA has confirmed the squad numbers for the 2026 World Cup in North America, which will see 11 Chelsea players represent their countries.
This summer's tournament, which kicks off in just nine days, promises to be a special one for many of our Blues, who will be competing across Canada, Mexico and the United States in the quest for glory.
After the squads were confirmed, shirt numbers for each participating nation have now also been revealed. There will be three Chelsea players wearing the No.24 at the tournament, with Marc Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez and Reece James all set to sport it – our skipper also dons the same number for the Blues.
Elsewhere, Malo Gusto will be wearing the No.2 for France as they go in search of their third triumph in the competition's history, while the likes of Jorrel Hato, Pedro Neto and Mamadou Sarr will all be making their World Cup debuts wearing the No.25, No.18 and No.2, respectively.
