List of FIFA World Cup hat-tricks

The FIFA World Cup is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. A hat-trick occurs when a player scores three or more goals in a single match and it is considered an achievement, especially while playing at the largest international football tournament in the world. Since the first official tournament in 1930 in Uruguay, 52 hat-tricks have been scored in over 800 matches of the 21 editions of the tournament. The first hat-trick was scored by Bert Patenaude of the United States, playing against Paraguay in 1930; the most recent was by Harry Kane of England, playing against Panama on 24 June 2018. The only World Cup not to have at least one hat-trick scored was the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. The record number of hat-tricks in a single World Cup tournament is eight, during the 1954 FIFA World Cup in Switzerland.

This article is about hat-tricks at the men's World Cup. For hat-tricks at the Women's World Cup, see List of FIFA Women's World Cup hat-tricks.

Notable World Cup hat-tricks
  • Bert Patenaude was the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup match, on 17 July 1930 against Paraguay. However, until 10 November 2006 the first hat-trick that FIFA acknowledged had been scored by Guillermo Stábile of Argentina, two days after Patenaude. In 2006, FIFA announced that Patenaude's claim to being the first hat-trick scorer was valid, as teammate Tom Florie's goal in the match against Paraguay was re-attributed to him.[1]
  • Four players have scored two hat-tricks in World Cup matches: Sándor Kocsis (both 1954); Just Fontaine (both 1958); Gerd Müller (both 1970); and Gabriel Batistuta (1994 and 1998).[2] Batistuta is thus the only person to score hat-tricks in two World Cups. He has another unique record of scoring hat-tricks, both were achieved on 21 June of the year, against World Cup finals debutants (Greece and Jamaica), and each time the third goal was a penalty.[3] Kocsis and Müller scored their hat-tricks in consecutive matches.
  • Oleg Salenko is the only player in World Cup history to have scored five goals in a single match. He did this during the 1994 FIFA World Cup match between Russia and Cameroon.[4]
  • One player has scored a hat-trick on his international début: Guillermo Stábile (1930).[5]
  • One player has scored four goals for the losing side: Ernest Wilimowski (5–6, 1938).[6]
  • Two players have scored a hat-trick for the losing side: Josef Hügi (5–7, 1954); and Igor Belanov (3–4, 1986).
  • There have been three occasions when two hat-tricks have been scored in the same match. Two occurred during the 1938 FIFA World Cup: when Sweden defeated Cuba, Gustav Wetterström and Harry Andersson, both playing for Sweden, scored three goals, with the former completing his in the first half. In the Brazil vs Poland, Leônidas did it for Brazil and Ernest Wilimowski for Poland. One occurred in 1954: when Austria defeated Switzerland, Theodor Wagner and Josef Hügi scored hat-tricks for Austria and Switzerland respectively.
  • Only one man has scored a hat-trick in a World Cup Final. Geoff Hurst scored three for England against West Germany in the 1966 Final.[2][7] This is also the longest hat-trick to be completed — most time between the first and third goals. His first goal came at 10', while the second and third goals were in extra time at 98' and 120'.
  • The quickest hat-trick is Erich Probst, who scored at 4', 21', and 24' in 1954, playing for Austria against Czechoslovakia in the first round.
  • The briefest hat-trick to be completed — that is, the shortest time between the first and third goals — is the one by László Kiss in 1982 against El Salvador. He scored at 69', 72', and 76', making the time between his first and third 7 minutes. This is also the only hat-trick scored by a substitute.
  • The only players to have scored from three headers in a single match are Tomáš Skuhravý in 1990 and Miroslav Klose in 2002.[2]
  • The youngest player to score a hat-trick is Pelé, at 17 years, 244 days.
  • The oldest player to score a hat-trick is Cristiano Ronaldo, at 33 years, 130 days.[8]
  • Germany (incl. West Germany) holds the record for most hat-tricks scored with 7. Germany also shares with South Korea the record for most hat-tricks conceded with 4.
  • The first man to score a first-half hat-trick: Gustav Wetterström for Sweden v Cuba, in 1938, scored all three goal in first-half. His scores coming in the 32', 37' and 44' of match. Since then, Erich Probst (for Austria v Czechoslovakia, in 1954, scored in 4', 21' and 24'. It is also the earliest hat-trick i.e. quickest hat-trick), Gerd Müller (for West Germany v Peru, in 1970, scored in 19', 26' and 39'), Gary Lineker (for England v Poland, in 1986, scored in 9', 14' and 34') and Oleg Salenko (for Russia v Cameroon, in 1994, completed his hattrick in first-half 14', 41', 44'p. Although he finished the game with scoring five goals in his name) also did the same.[9]<ref>http://www.rsssf.com/tablest/trivia.html#hattricks<ref>
  • Edmund Conen is the first man to score a second-half hat-trick, for Germany v Belgium in 1934 World cup. His goals came in the 60', 70' and 87'. He is also first man to complete hat-trick in one half. Since then, Pele (for Brazil v France, in 1958, scored in 52', 64' and 75'), László Kiss (for Hungary v El Salvador, in 1982, scored in 69', 72' and 76'. It is also briefest hat-trick to be completed, i.e. the shortest time between the first and third goals, making the time between his first and third 7 minutes. This is also the only hat-trick scored by a substitute) and Gabriel Batistuta (for Argentina v Jamaica, in 1998, scored in 73', 78', 83'p) completed the fate.[10]<ref>http://www.rsssf.com/tablest/trivia.html#hattricks<ref>
  • The first man to score a goal in each first-half, second-half and extra-time: Igor Belanov for Soviet Union v Belgium, in 1986, scored a goal in each first-half (27'), second-half (70') and extra-time (111'p) to complete his hat-trick. Geoff Hurst's famous hat-trick for England vs West Germany, in 1966, is also the first to be scored, with a goal in main phase (10') and each half of the extra-time (98' and 120'). It is also only hat-trick in a world cup final match.[11]<ref>http://www.rsssf.com/tablest/trivia.html#hattricks<ref>
