Manchester City has sent 19 players to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Considering one soccer club puts 11 players on the pitch at a time, that's a remarkable achievement. Some of them are the big names, like Erling Haaland, Antoine Semenyo and John Stones.
There are also some of City's lesser-known players getting a chance at this expanded, 48-team World Cup.
The Manchester City representation includes four players for England and three for Portugal.
Also likely making fans of the Citizens happy -- they've got seven more players at this World Cup than crosstown rival Manchester United, which has 12.

What Manchester City players are at the World Cup?
It might be easier to answer which players aren't there, because 19 City standouts are on rosters for the tournament in North America.
The full list, with countries:
- Nathan Ake, Netherlands
- Tijjani Reijnders, Netherlands
- Jeremy Doku, Belgium
- Omar Marmoush, Egypt
- Rodri, Spain
- Rayan Cherki, France
- Erling Haaland, Norway
- Rayan Ait-Nouri, Algeria
- Ruben Dias, Portugal
- Matheus Nunes, Portugal
- Bernardo Silva, Portugal
- Abdukodir Khusanov, Uzbekistan
- Josko Gvardiol, Croatia
- Mateo Kovacic, Croatia
- Nico O'Reilly, England
- John Stones, England
- Marc Guehi, England
- James Trafford, England
- Antoine Semenyo, Ghana
Maybe the most intriguing players on this list aren't for the biggest countries, but instead guys like Ait-Nouri with Algeria, Khusanov with Uzbekistan and Marmoush with Egypt. If those countries are going to go on a surprise run, it could certainly require big contributions from a Manchester City player.
