Neither Kylian Mbappe nor Erling Haaland have taken the top spot; it's currently held by Australian defender Jordan Bos. According to statistics from the first round of matches, Bos reached a top speed of 36.7 km/h, making him the fastest player at the 2026 World Cup so far.

This achievement helps the "Socceroos" full-back surpass a number of famous attacking stars known for their acceleration. This is considered a big surprise, as Bos is not a name often mentioned in the list of the world's fastest players.

Right behind him is Erling Haaland with a speed of 36.5 km/h. The Norwegian striker showed impressive acceleration in the 4-1 victory against Iraq. His Manchester City teammate, Abdukodir Khusanov, also reached a similar speed.
