About this quiz
The player or players with the most goals at each men's World Cup, 1930 to 2026, counted the way FIFA's tournament statistics count them. Ties are not broken: FIFA's Golden Boot award uses assists and minutes to pick one winner, and this list does not.
- Just Fontaine's 13 goals in 1958 are still the most at one World Cup.
- The top tally was shared in 1962, 1994 and 2010.
- Kylian Mbappé led the scoring in both 2022 and 2026.
