List of players making debut in FIFA World Cup 2026 Final

Lionel Messi will play his third FIFA World Cup final.

The stage is set for the FIFA World Cup 2026 summit clash. After six decades, Argentina and Spain are ready to lock horns in the biggest game of the tournament at the New York-New Jersey Stadium. The two sides are meeting at the World Cup final for the first time since 1966.

The stakes are sky-high in the game as the veterans of the sport will clash with the emerging players on the biggest stage of international football. Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal will face each other for the first time, even though the 2025 Finalissima is scheduled for March 2026.

The 2024 European champions, Spain, were set to take on the defending Copa America champions, Argentina, in an intercontinental game; however, it was eventually cancelled. Nevertheless, the fans will get to see the exact clash at a significantly greater stage of the game.

Aldo, for the first time in the tournament’s history, the Copa América champions and the UEFA Euro winners will face each other in the final. The final is expected to offer late drama and breathtaking action.

If Argentina wins, Lionel Messi would become the oldest player to win the prestigious accolade. Meanwhile, if Spain wins, Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal will become among the youngest players to win the FIFA World Cup. Thus, history is at stake on both sides.

Thus, on that note, let’s take a look at the list of players making their debut in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final.
