The 2018 FIFA World Cup was an international men's football tournament, that took place between 14 June and 15 July 2018 in Russia. [1] The competition was structured in the typical round-robin style during the initial group stages, with the top two teams of each group qualifying to the further stages. [2] France [3] and Croatia [4] went to the finals and fought for the championship.
The statistics within the tournament include: goals, assists, scores, wins and losses record, match awards, squad records, disciplinary issues, statistics accumulated over multiple world cups, the overall results and the stadium statistics. Matches that were decided by penalty shoot-outs were counted as draws. Any records set during the 2018 FIFA World Cup covered under the appropriate headings for the specific record. [5]
There were 169 goals scored in 64 matches, for an average of 2.64 goals per match.
Twelve own goals were scored during the tournament, doubling the record of six set in 1998. [6] Goals scored from penalty shoot-outs are not counted towards an individual player's goal count. [7]

In total, only four players were sent off in the entire tournament, the fewest since 1978. [85] International Football Association Board technical director David Elleray stated a belief that this was due to the introduction of VAR, since players would know that they would not be able to get away with anything under the new system.
