These are the 19 Manchester City players at the World Cup

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.
