The World Cup has started with a bang across the pond, with over 100 goals scored in the first 10 days of the tournament, and host nations United States, Mexico and Canada all recording landmark victories.
Both Scotland and England have got off the mark too, with opening game wins over Haiti and Croatia getting the home nations off to the perfect start, while global superstars Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe have all scored at least two goals to kick off their tournaments in the most typical of fashions.
But which young stars have caught the eye in the opening days of the tournament? Which teenage talents have shone alongside the big names at the tournament in North America?
Here, we look at the 12 most valuable teenagers currently playing at the World Cup 2026 based on popular football statistics site FotMob’s market value.
9. Endrick - Brazil
One of the most highly rated teenagers in Europe, the 19-year-old spent time on loan at Lyon last year, scoring five times and assisting seven more in just 12 appearances. Due to return to Real Madrid next season, the youngster will hope to impress in his first World Cup with Brazil this summer. He is valued at £34million. | AFP via Getty Images
10. Ayyoub Bouaddi - Morocco
The 6ft1in midfielder only changed his allegiances from France to Morocco in the lead-up to the tournament, but has already morphed into one of the Atlas Lions' key players. Still just 18, Bouaddi does not play like a footballer in the infancy of his career, rarely wasting possession and dictating the tempo of the game. Linked to Real Madrid, Arsenal and Manchester City, it will be hard for Lille to hang onto him beyond the tournament. Has a market value of £42million, but is likely to cost almost double that for clubs looking to sign him this summer. Compared to a hybrid of Sergio Busquets and Luka Modric, which is not a bad comparison to have. | AFP via Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
11. Pau Cubarsi - Spain
One of the many teenage talent produced by Barcelona in recent seasons, the 19-year-old centre-back is already a regular starter at the Nou Camp, and a first choice for Spain. Valued at £120million, Cubarsi provides his elite ball-playing ability and undeniably impressive composure under pressure. Arguably the best teenage centre-back on the planet. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
12. Lamine Yamal - Spain
The 18-year-old mercurial talent needs no introduction, and is the highest valued teenager on the planet, with a whopping market value of £170million. Spain's star player, he's already won the Euros, three La Liga titles, the Copa Del Rey and was named the runner up in last season's Ballon d'Or awards. He doesn't turn 19 until next month. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
