So this is a thread listing current or former FFC players selected in squads for the 2026 World Cup finals. So far:
Timothy Castagne (Belgium)
Jean-Michael Seri (Ivory Coast)
Gael Kakuta (DR Congo)
Please feel free to add names as and when squads are announced!
Ream and Robinson will be in the USA squad, Berge and Bobb will be in the Norway squad, Jimenez will be in the Mexico squad.
Cameron Burgess for Australia, Seko Fofana for Ivory Coast, Palhinha probably won't make the Portugal squad.
Seko Fofana (Ivory Coast) Cameron Burgess (Australia) Dan Burn (England) João Palhinha (Portugal)
Maybe issa Diop if Morocco take him
Vincenzo Montella (former Fulham player) is managing Turkey Brede Hangeland is part of Norway's setup
Dan burn if selected for England..
Palhinha confirmed not in the Portugal squad.
Luc De Fougerolles is almost certain to be in the Canada squad

Should have stayed with us.
Pepi if we go back in for him and buy him before the WC starts
Portugal must highly rate their other midfielders if they leave out a Rottweiler....

In fairness he's competing with Vitinha and Joao Neves (who are in a PSG team which could win the UCL), Bruno Fernandes who has been Man United's best player for years, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Neves (who despite the fact he copped out to Saudi Arabia is still a top quality midfielder), and Samu Costa (which to be fair he could have taken the place of, I don't know how Mallorca have done this season).
Worth noting West Ham's Mateus Fernandes was left out, seeing a few Portuguese unhappy about that.

I saw this, JC, and I thought six was wrong. It's actually seven current FFC players at this World Cup: Diop, Castagne, Robinson, Berge, Bobb, Jimenez and (this is probably where their error came from) de Fougerolles.
Best team photo goes to Norway.
Do not know how to add the link but it's on BBC website today.
The Vikings are going to USA. Allegedly they may have been the first Europeans there several centuries ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Millar
Was in our academy and now plays in the championship and for Canada's national team
Interesting article in New York Times here on Luc De Fougerolles where Liam mentions it: https://archive.is/20260610052542/https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7346728/2026/06/10/canada-luc-de-fougerolles-world-cup/#selection-5345.49-5345.60
so far I don't think a FFC player has been on the losing side (Jimenez, de Fougerolles, Castagne, Robinson, Diop (all featured in wins or draws).......Now over to Berge and Bobb!
Ghana's Jerome Opoku played well against England last night. Four years on Fulham's books as a youngster.
No Issa in the starting 11 for Morocco today and they concede 2 to Haiti in the first half. Coincidence? I don't think so.
