How Do Kit Numbers At The World Cup Work And What Do They Mean?

Ever wonder how World Cup players get their numbers? There are actually rules and parameters regarding how each of the 26 players on the 48 teams at this summer’s soccer extravaganza get assigned the numbers on their jerseys. Rules For Kit Numbers FIFA requires World Cup squads to be numbered from 1 to 26, with the No. 1 shirt exclusively belonging to a goalkeeper on the roster. That number is usually given to the first-choice keeper, while the other goalkeepers can wear any available number from Nos. 2 to 26. Interestingly enough, the expected starting goalkeeper for the U.S. men’s national team, Matt Freese, was given No. 24. His backup, Matt Turner (who was the USA’s starter in 2022), was given the No. 1 by USA manager Mauricio Pochettino. USA captain Tim Ream, who plays at the defender position, will wear No. 13. Players are also not allowed to switch squad numbers once the tournament begins, meaning the number assigned before the World Cup stays with them throughout the competition. Unlike club soccer, where players can often wear numbers up to 99, World Cup kit numbers are tied directly to the number of available roster spots. For the 2026 World Cup, that means 26 players and 26 numbers. Club teams usually have larger squads, youth academy players being promoted, and more movement across a season, which creates the need for a bigger pool of kit numbers. International tournaments are much more limited, so the numbering system is tighter and more straightforward. Numbers By Position Kit numbers also carry meaning because of soccer tradition. First-choice strikers typically wear the iconic No. 9 shirt, which is why Harry Kane will wear the number for England at his third World Cup. The No. 10 kit is often reserved for a nation’s biggest attacking star or most creative player, or at least the team’s most established player. Lionel Messi (Argentina), Neymar (Brazil) and Luka Modrić (Croatia) will wear the No. 10 this summer. That is not always the case, though. Cristiano Ronaldo has built his legacy wearing No. 7, the number he has made famous throughout his career. For the USA, Christian Pulisic will wear No. 10, a kit number that has belonged to him since 2016, when he was just 17 years old. Weston McKennie will continue wearing No. 8 for the United States, while Ricardo Pepi will wear No. 9. Expected starting striker Folarin Balogun will wear No. 20. 2026 FIFA World Cup: How To Watch The World Cup will run from June 11–July 19, 2026. Spread across three countries, the tournament will culminate with the final on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. All 104 tournament matches will air live across FOX and FS1 with every match streaming live and on-demand within both the FOX One and the FOX Sports apps.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Kelsea Ballerini Helps Crown Winner At SoFi’s ‘Amplify Your Ambitions’ Finale

Kelsea Ballerini made her only CMA Fest appearance on Thursday, June 4, stepping out for the live finale of SoFi’s Amplify Your Ambitions Contest at Analog at Hutton Hotel in Nashville as CMA Fest 2026 officially got underway.

The event, created in partnership with Ballerini and the Country Music Association (CMA), brought together emerging artists from across the country for a chance to break through one of music’s biggest barriers: the cost of building a sustainable career in the industry.

After weeks of submissions and fan voting, finalists Karen Hardy, Shantania, and The Kentucky Gentleman took the stage for live performances in front of a judging panel that included Ballerini, SoFi Chief of Financial Empowerment Vivian Tu, and GRAMMY-winning songwriter Shane McAnally.

At the end of the night, Karen Hardy was named the winner of the competition, taking home the $200,000 grand prize to support her music career, while the other finalists each received $50,000 runner-up awards.

Following Hardy’s crowning moment, Ballerini took to the stage to deliver a performance of fan-favorite hits like “Baggage,” “Blindsided,” and more.

The star-studded event also drew appearances from actor Chace Crawford, singer/songwriter Stelly Lefty, country/pop breakout star Dasha, Olympic gold medalist and entrepreneur Shawn Johnson East, and more.

Amplify Your Ambitions is rooted in SoFi’s belief that financial independence fuels big dreams. While talent is a key part of success, many rising artists still face major financial obstacles when trying to build long-term careers in music.

Through the contest, SoFi teamed up with Kelsea Ballerini and the CMA to help ease some of those challenges by offering financial backing, increased visibility, and real opportunities to the next wave of artists.

“I know firsthand how much it takes to build a career in music, especially when you’re funding it on your own,” Ballerini previously shared. “That’s why I’m excited to partner with SoFi on this. We’re looking for artists with passion, determination, and a strong sense of who they are, artists who are not only committed to their craft but thoughtful about how they invest in themselves and their music.”  

CMA Fest officially wrapped up on Sunday, June 7.
