England Holds the Record for Most Goalless Draws in World Cup History
The England national team continued to add new records to its World Cup history after drawing 0-0 with Ghana in the second round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, further solidifying its record as the team with the most matches ending in a 0-0 draw in the tournament's history.
According to Opta statistics, the match against Ghana was England's 13th goalless draw in the history of their World Cup participation, the highest for any team in the tournament's history. The "Three Lions" also increased their total number of draws in the World Cup to 23, another record they hold exclusively among all teams.
England's first goalless draw in the World Cup dates back to the 1966 edition against Uruguay in the tournament's opening match, which was hosted by England. The English team later succeeded in winning the only world title in its history.
Despite the significant dominance imposed by the English team against Ghana, they failed to score, continuing their series of negative results in goalless draws throughout their history in the world championship.
