Jade Spence: The First Muslim to Represent England in the World Cup

The English full-back Jed Spence continues to make history, having become the first Muslim player to participate with the England national team in the World Cup, marking a milestone in the history of the "Three Lions."

The Tottenham Hotspur player made history for the first time in September 2025 when he became the first Muslim player to represent the senior England national team, after participating in a match against Serbia in the World Cup qualifiers.

With his call-up to England's squad for the 2026 World Cup and his appearance in the tournament, Spence became the first Muslim player to represent the English national team in the World Cup finals, adding a new chapter to his remarkable career.

Spence had previously expressed his pride in this achievement, expressing hope that it would inspire more children and young people from various backgrounds to pursue their dreams and reach the highest levels in football.
