The most goals scord by an individual player in a World Cup finals tournament is 13 by Just Fontaine (France) in 1958 in Sweden. Fontaine did not hold down a regular French international spot before the tournament and only got his chance due to injury to his Rheims teammate Rene Bliard (France).

FIFA Women's World Cup
- Alex Morgan’s twinkle-toed turn and finish among France 2019's ten best goals
- Goal one of five scored by USA’s co-captain against Thailand
USA’s path to the world crown at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup France™ began with a raft of records falling and Alex Morgan at the centre of it. The star striker bagged five goals in a tournament record 13-0 rout of Thailand in their group-stage opener in Reims.
Morgan’s tally equalled the mark set by compatriot Michelle Akers in the inaugural edition of the tournament 28 years earlier. But one of Morgan’s quintet clearly stood out above the others.
With 16 minutes of the match remaining, the tall forward completed her hat-trick with a dazzling piece of footwork that left her marker grasping at thin air. Morgan received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, took a step sideways, deftly dragged the ball back with her left foot, before firing home perfectly with her right for a high-quality goal.
Does Morgan deserve the France 2019 Goal of the Tournament Award for her stunning strike? You decide!
FIFA and partner Match Hospitality are expecting record income from hospitality sales ahead of next year’s World Cup in Qatar after agents committed to more than $260m in sales targets.
Hospitality packages for Qatar 2022 games went on sale today (February 1), after the tender process for sales agents was recently completed by Match. Representatives in more than 70 territories will be authorised to sell the packages on a first-come, first-served basis.
That sales targets figure of $260m compares with commitments of $219m at the same point in the Russia 2018 marketing process – an increase of some 20%, notwithstanding the current pandemic.
Strong demand from hospitality customers is also expected after the pre-sales purchase period generated significant interest from FIFA’s Commercial Affiliates and prominent Qatari client groups.
“We are delighted to see such extraordinary interest in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, when following challenging times, the world can come together for a global festival of football,” said Nick Brown, FIFA’s director of commercial revenue.
“The FIFA Hospitality Programme has a proven track record of delivering a fantastic range of products, and in late 2022 we will open the door to world-class services and memorable experiences for hospitality clients.”
Hospitality ticket prices for Qatar 2022 start at less than $1,000, rising to in excess of $2.6m for a 40-seat suite in the Lusail Stadium for the 2022 FIFA World Cup final on December 18 2022.

Jaime Byrom, executive chairman of Match, which has partnered with FIFA since 2011, said: “The remarkable response we have had to our pre-sales has further cemented our belief that despite the events of recent months due to the global pandemic, there remains unwavering enthusiasm and interest in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Hospitality Programme.
