With the 2026 World Cup just around the corner, supporters worldwide are already hard at work constructing their fantasy football (soccer) rosters ahead of the competition.
Naturally, putting together a squad loaded with goal-scorers, clean-sheet keepers and potential surprise stars is essential if you're hoping to rise up the standings and claim bragging rights over your mates.
But let's face it—a strong fantasy squad is only part of the equation.
The other vital element is a witty team name. Whether it's a groan-worthy pun, a player-based joke or something guaranteed to make your league opponents roll their eyes, the right name can matter just as much as the players you select.
So, if you're still on the hunt for the ideal title for your World Cup fantasy team, we've got you sorted.

How do you Play Fantasy Football World Cup 2026?
To begin, you'll need to create or log into an account on FIFA's official World Cup Fantasy platform. Once signed in, you can assemble your squad, make transfers and manage your roster throughout the competition.
Points are earned based on how your selected players perform in actual World Cup matches, meaning goals, assists, clean sheets and other notable contributions will directly affect your fantasy total.
Managers must put together a 15-player squad consisting of:
From those 15 players, you'll pick a starting XI for each matchday and can set your team up in a range of different formations.
Each player carries a transfer value, and you'll need to remain within the game's salary cap when constructing your squad. During the group stage, managers are given a budget of $100 million, which rises to $105 million once the tournament advances to the knockout phase.
After that, it's largely out of your control. Sit back, enjoy the action and hope your chosen players shine on the grandest stage of all.
