- Most of the players (108) worked for clubs in England, most of them in the Premier League , some in lower-class leagues. In 27 squads there were players who played in England.
- One player each played in Finland, Guinea, Honduras, Norway, Paraguay, Romania, Slovakia and South Africa.
- Of the countries that did not qualify, Serie A and B were the strongest in Italy with 52 players.
Trainer
- Oldest coach: Óscar Tabárez (Uruguay) - 71 years and 104 days in the first game against Egypt, making it the second oldest coach after Otto Rehhagel (71 years and 317 days at the 2010 World Cup)
- Youngest coach: Aliou Cissé (Senegal) - 42 years and 87 days in the first game against Poland
- Most of the coaches came from Argentina, in addition to the Argentine team, Egypt, Colombia and Peru were coached by Argentines. This was followed by Spain with three coaches (Belgium, Saudi Arabia and Spain), Germany, France, Portugal and Colombia with two coaches each, with the Colombian coaches only looking after other teams.
- Twelve teams were coached by foreign coaches, two of them (Australia and Denmark) by coaches whose home countries (Netherlands and Norway) did not qualify for the World Cup.
- As in 2014, the longest-serving team bosses at the World Cup were Joachim Löw and Óscar Tabárez, who have been responsible for the German and Uruguayan teams since 2006. Tabárez was, however, coach of Uruguay from 1988 to 1990, while Löw had already worked as an assistant coach for the German team from 2004. Alongside them, Didier Deschamps (France), José Pékerman (coach of Colombia) and Carlos Queiroz (coach of Iran) were at the 2014 World Cup with their current teams, as well as Jorge Sampaoli (Argentina) with Chile and Fernando Santos with Greece at the 2014 World Cup with it.
- The shortest in office was Fernando Hierro (Spain), who became his team's coach two days before his team's first game. In addition to him, Mladen Krstajić (Serbia), Bert van Marwijk (coach of Australia) Akira Nishino (Japan) and Juan Antonio Pizzi (coach of Saudi Arabia) only coached their current teams after the successful qualification. Of these, however, van Marwijk qualified for the World Cup with Saudi Arabia, but did not renew his contract afterwards. For Hierro, his tenure ended with the round of 16.
- A coach (Didier Deschamps / 1998) was able to become world champion as a player. He led France to another World Cup title and is therefore the third person after Mário Zagallo (Brazil, 1958/1970) and Franz Beckenbauer (Germany, 1974/1990) to achieve this success as a player and as a coach or team boss. Besides him, Aliou Cissé (2002), Gareth Southgate (England / 1998), Óscar Ramírez (Costa Rica / 1990), Adam Nawałka (Poland / 1978), Stanislaw Tschertschessow (Russia / 1994 and without involvement in 2002) and Mladen Krstajić ( Serbia / 2006 with Serbia & Montenegro) took part in a World Cup final as a player.
- Two coaches have already won a continental championship with their team: Óscar Tabárez (Uruguay / Copa América 2011 ) and Fernando Santos (Portugal / Euro 2016 ). In addition, Hervé Renard (coach of Morocco) won the African championship with Zambia and Ivory Coast , Juan Antonio Pizzi won the Copa America Centenario 2016 with Chile and Jorge Sampaoli also won the Copa America 2015 with Chile .

- The top scorer of the two previous World Cups ( Thomas Müller for Germany and James Rodríguez for Colombia) were eliminated from the tournament without another goal of their own.
- Top scorer Harry Kane scored his last goal in the round of 16 and remained without another goal for the rest of the tournament. However, five goals scored in the preliminary round were enough to put themselves at the top of the top scorer list. Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku , who were also well placed with four goals , only scored in the group stage.
- Kane scored three times from the penalty spot and one more time on penalties against Colombia. With four penalty kicks converted and no missed shot, he is also the safest penalty taker in the tournament.
- The English team reached fourth place without having scored a single goal from the game in the knockout round; all three goals came from standards.
- Two goals in the game for third place represent the worst result since 1974. In all subsequent tournaments, at least three goals were scored in the "small final".
- With six goals, the final was the final with the highest number of goals since 1966 (England versus Germany, 4: 2 a.s.) and is only topped in this respect by the 1958 final with seven goals (Sweden versus Brazil, 2: 5). Six goals were also scored in the finals in 1930 and 1938.
- Mario Mandžukić is the first player ever to score an own goal in a World Cup final. This makes him the first player ever to score for both teams in a final.

referee
- Ravshan Ermatov (Uzbekistan), already the record referee at the World Cup, was in charge of a World Cup match for the tenth time in Argentina against Croatia.
- The German referee Felix Brych took part as the reigning world referee, but was not nominated for any further game after only one appearance in the preliminary round and was sent home before the quarter-finals. In the politically explosive preliminary round match between Serbia and Switzerland (1: 2), he did not give a penalty for an alleged foul on the Serbian striker in the Swiss penalty area. Furthermore, he left political (and therefore forbidden) cheers of the Swiss Granit Xhaka , Xherdan Shaqiri and Stephan Lichtsteiner unpunished (the players formed double-headed eagles with their hands after their goals , an allusion to the flag of Albania - which the Serbs perceived as a clear provocation). Following the match, Brych was heavily criticized by the Serbian media and representatives of Serbian football. Mladen Krstajić , the coach of the Serbian national team, compared him the day after the lost game with war criminals in the Yugoslav wars : “I would send him to The Hague . So that they make him the process as they made him us ”. For this, Krstajić was fined 5000 francs. The Serbian Association also had to pay 54,000 francs for “discriminatory banners” and battle calls from fans. For their forbidden jubilation, Xhaka and Shaqiri each paid CHF 10,000, Lichtsteiner CHF 5,000.
Others
- For the first time since the introduction of the FIFA world rankings , the host of the World Cup was the worst placed participant in the FIFA world rankings at the time of the draw and immediately before the tournament, and in the opening game they met the second worst placed participant Saudi Arabia, the first Asian team played a World Cup opening game.
- The video assistant was used for the first time at a World Cup. In the match between France and Australia there was a penalty for France and a yellow card for Joshua Risdon after video evidence, which was the first time in World Cup history a referee decision was revised.
- Japan is the first Asian team to win a World Cup against a South American national team ( 2-1 in the group stage against Colombia ).
- For the first time, there was no goalless game on the first two match days (32 games) of a World Cup finals. Previously, the mark was 26 games when there was no goalless game at the 1954 World Cup.
- In the last group game between South Korea and Germany, the record for the longest injury time in this World Cup was set. The second half was played by a total of 9 minutes and 18 seconds.
- With their end in the preliminary round, the German team continued a trend: As in the tournaments in 2014 (Spain) and 2010 (Italy), the defending champions did not survive the group stage. Of the five championships to date in the 21st century, this was the fourth early retirement of the reigning title holder, since the French did not reach the knockout round in 2002 either. Only Brazil was spared this fate in 2006 and the team at least reached the quarter-finals.
- For the first time since 1982, no African team survived the preliminary round.
- For the first time in a World Cup tournament, no team scored less than two goals.
- The group game between Japan and Poland was the 1,000th. Game of a European national team in the history of the World Cup.
- The Russian national team (including the Soviet national team ) took part in a penalty shootout at a World Cup for the first time in their history - in the round of 16 against Spain .
- Alexander Yerochin (Russia) is the first player to come on as the fourth player in a World Cup match - in the 97th minute of extra time in the round of 16 against Spain. This game is also the first World Cup game in which eight players were replaced .
- The English team won a penalty shootout for the first time in a World Cup. Despite some participation in international tournaments, the Three Lions were considered to be extremely unlucky if a winner had to be determined in this way. The victory in the round of 16 against Colombia was a first.
- Neither Germany nor Brazil - the two most successful nations at world championships - made it to the semi-finals. That only happened at the first World Cup in 1930.
- For the fourth time in a row after 2006, 2010 and 2014, a team from Europe became world champions in 2018. This has never before succeeded in any continental association.
- For the first time since 1998, a team won a semi-final with Croatia, in which they were initially behind: After the English led early, the Croatians equalized and scored the winner. The last time such a spin was achieved by the eventual world champion France in their own country - against Croatia. The finalists for the next 20 years were able to either hold a lead (although only Uruguay managed to equalize in the semi-finals against the Netherlands in 2010) or win the penalty shoot-out after a goalless game. At no point did the future world and runner-up world champions lag behind in the semifinals.
- For the first time, two teams that had previously met in the preliminary round contested the game for 3rd place. In both games, Belgium prevailed against England.
- With the victories of the Croatian selection against Denmark and Russia on penalties and against England in extra time, a team was able to qualify for the first time for the final of a world championship with three wins after regular time (extra time / penalty shoot-out) in the knockout phase.
- For the first time, two teams met in the quarter-finals, Croatia and Russia, who won their round of 16 on penalties. The quarter-finals in 2018 were won by Croatia - also on penalties. Croatia is the second team since Argentina in 1990 to win two consecutive penalties in a tournament.
- No semi-final participant in the previous World Cup was actually able to convince at this tournament: As already mentioned, World Champion Germany did not survive the group phase, while Vice World Champion Argentina lost after just barely surviving the preliminary round in the second round. The third-placed Dutch had already failed in the qualification. As the last semi-finalist in 2014, Brazil only reached the quarter-finals, despite much greater ambitions. The fact that the four best-placed teams in a tournament were completely different from those of the previous one was previously only the case in 1934 and 1966.
Impact on the FIFA World Ranking
France rose to the top of the world rankings for the first time since 2002 thanks to its victories at the World Cup finals, while Germany slipped from 1st to 15th due to its poor performance. After the World Cup, participants in the final took the first 11 places in the world rankings. With Chile, which failed in the South American qualification and was still in 9th place in June, the first team that did not qualify for the finals follows in 12th place. Since a new rating was introduced at the same time as the August ranking list, the points are not comparable and are therefore not listed.
