FAQ — Assists
Who has the most assists at the 2026 World Cup?+
The assists ranking opens with the first match on June 11, 2026, and updates live on this page as goals are set up.
What counts as an assist?+
An assist is credited to the player who makes the final pass or touch leading directly to a goal. A player can win the Golden Boot tie-break on assists, which is why the assists ranking matters during the World Cup.
Do assists count towards the Golden Boot?+
Not directly — the Golden Boot is decided on goals. But if two players finish level on goals, the first tie-breaker is assists (then fewest minutes played), so assists can decide the award.
