Džeko Makes World Cup History

Bosnia and Herzegovina striker Edin Džeko has made history, becoming the first outfield player aged 40 or over to feature in the knockout stage of a World Cup.

Džeko, at 40 years and 106 days old, started in the Round of 16 clash against the USA at the 2026 World Cup, which his team lost 2-0. However, the veteran forward sustained an injury early in the second half and was substituted.
