Coach Chung just turned 73 on June 21. He will become the oldest coach in the history of both men’s and women’s World Cup when Vietnam play their debut game against the U.S. on July 22. The previous record belongs to German former coach Otto Rehhagel, who was 71 years old when he coached Greece in the men’s World Cup in 2010.

Nigerian defender Onome Ebi and Canadian striker Christine Sinclair (pictured) will be the first players above 40 to compete in a Women’s World Cup.

A total of 22 years and 65 days is the record for the age gap between two players in the same team. It belongs to Formiga (pictured) and Meg of Brazil in 1995. The record is set to be broken by Lara Esponda and Vanina Correa of Argentina (22 years and 86 days), as well as Casey Phair and Kim Jung-mi of South Korea (22 years and 256 days).

Phair (pictured) will become the youngest to play at a World Cup if she plays one of the two first matches for South Korea in the group stage. She will be 16 years and 26 days old on July 25 when South Korea face Colombia. The record is being held by Nigeria’s Ifeanyi Chiejine, who was 16 years and 34 days old when she played North Korea in 1999.

Phair can also become the youngest player to score if she can find the net at this World Cup. The current record belongs to Russia's Elena Danilova, who was 16 years and 107 days old when she scored in 2003.

Norway hold the record of scoring in 15 consecutive World Cup games in 1991, 1995 and 1999. England (pictured) and the U.S. with 13 and 12 games can break that record this World Cup.

Brazilian legend Pele is the only player to win three World Cup titles so far. Five American players, Julie Ertz, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe (pictured), Alyssa Naeher and Kelley O’Hara are aiming to equal that record as they have won the title in 2015 and 2019.

Morgan and Rapinoe could also become the first women to play four World Cup finals.

No player has ever scored two hattricks in the history of Women’s World Cup. Ramona Bachmann, Cristiana Girelli, Fabienne Humm, Sam Kerr (pictured) and Alex Morgan can change that if they score a hattrick at this year's tournament.

Lionel Messi is the only player to win two World Cup Golden Balls in 2014 and 2022. Marta of Brazil (pictured) and Megan Rapinoe of the U.S. can level that record at this tournament.

No national team have ever won the World Cup with a foreign coach. Four coaches who can change that in this tournament are Tony Gustavsson (Australia), Bev Priestman (Canada, pictured), Pia Sundhage (Brazil) and Sarina Wiegman (England).

Except for the first World Cup, no debuting team have won a match in the knockout rounds. Haiti, Morocco, Panama, Philippines, Portugal (pictured), Republic of Ireland, Vietnam and Zambia could become exceptions this time around.
