France midfielder Michael Olise breaks Pelé’s long-standing World Cup record for assists in a single tournament during the 2026 World Cup third-place match against England. Multiple outlets report that Olise records his seventh assist of the competition, surpassing Pelé’s previous mark for the most assists in one World Cup. The milestone comes as France and England play a third-place playoff in Miami. While Olise’s playmaking is highlighted across the coverage, the results of the match are described differently by different outlets: one source says France loses to England in the third-place match, while another reports a 6-4 scoreline with England winning. Some reports add that Olise provides two assists in that England match, bringing his tournament total to seven. Several accounts also frame Olise as a key creator for France’s attack throughout the tournament, including in his on-field partnership with Kylian Mbappé. The common point across all sources is that Olise reaches seven assists in the 2026 World Cup and sets a new all-time record for the most assists in a single World Cup.
