Michael Olise makes history, eclipsing Pelé’s single World Cup assist record

France’s Michael Olise has established a new benchmark for assists in one World Cup, recording seven during the 2026 tournament. The 24-year-old winger moved past the legendary Pelé, who provided six assists throughout Brazil’s winning run in 1970. Olise achieved his seventh assist by setting up a goal for Kylian Mbappe during the third-place match against England.
