Player positions are based on the "Main position" data from Transfermarkt (*2).
Club affiliations (*3) and other data are sourced from the 2026 FIFA World Cup squads - Wikipedia and Transfermarkt.
Club tier classifications are based on the UEFA club coefficients published in the UEFA 5-year Club Ranking 2026 (updated May 7). Ranks 1 to 12 are designated as Tier 1, 13 to 24 as Tier 2, 25 to 36 as Tier 3, 37 to 48 as Tier 4, and all other clubs as Tier 5 (*4).
*1. In the official FIFA PDF, the heights of several players differ (for example, Nico O'Reilly is listed as 177 cm). In case of discrepancies between Transfermarkt/Wikipedia and the FIFA PDF, Transfermarkt is generally prioritized.
*2. "Main position" may differ from the player's position in the national team.
*3. Club affiliation as of the opening day of the tournament.
*4. Since the tiers are determined based on UEFA club coefficients, all non-European clubs (including prominent CONMEBOL clubs) are uniformly classified as Tier 5. Thank you for your understanding.
