TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Global headlines have been dominated by football’s grandest stage. Beyond the players’ performances and the scoreboard, it’s just as fascinating to see the world’s attention drawn to the most valuable team in World Cup 2026.

This perspective is often used to estimate the overall strength and depth of a national team, although early results in the tournament have already shown that football remains unpredictable. According to Transfermarkt valuations, Europe dominates the upper end of the rankings, with France, England, Spain, and Portugal all boasting squads worth more than €1 billion.

Managed by Didier Deschamps, Les Bleus feature five players valued at €100 million or more. Leading the pack is Kylian Mbappe, who remains the most valuable player in the French squad. The depth of talent available to France has reinforced its status as one of the favorites to lift the trophy in 2026.

England ranks among the tournament's most valuable squads, joining Spain and Portugal in the exclusive group of teams valued above €1 billion. All three nations possess squads filled with elite talent playing at Europe's top clubs, including Jude Bellingham, Lamine Yamal, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Meanwhile, four-time world champions Germany narrowly missed the €1 billion mark. Brazil finds itself in a similar position, sitting sixth overall despite being one of football's most successful nations.

Here’s the top 10 most valuable teams in World Cup 2026, according to Transfermarkt.
