FIFA has revived memories of England’s remarkable goal against Iran in the 2022 Qatar World Cup as part of its countdown to the 2026 tournament, which begins in 35 days. The goal, scored by Jack Grealish during England’s 6–2 victory, has been recognized as the longest passing move leading to a goal in World Cup history, lasting 86 seconds and involving 35 consecutive passes.
All eleven England players, including goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, participated in the build-up that began with a short free kick from Declan Rice. Midfielder Jude Bellingham played a central role, contributing nine passes and orchestrating the rhythm of the attack. The move concluded when Callum Wilson set up Grealish for a simple finish, sealing a moment that blended patience, precision, and teamwork.
Previously, the record for the longest passing sequence before a World Cup goal stood at 25 passes, shared by Argentina in 2006 and England in 2018. England’s 2022 goal surpassed that mark, becoming a symbol of collective artistry and tactical harmony in modern football.
