The longest football (soccer) FIFA World Cup clean sheet is 650 minutes, achieved by Unai Simón (Spain) between 1 December 2022 and 10 July 2026.
Goalkeeper Unai Simón’s historic shutout run began during Spain's 2–1 defeat to Japan at the 2022 World Cup, following Ao Tanaka’s goal in the 51st minute. In the Round of 16, Spain drew 0-0 against Morocco in the Round of 16 before losing on penalties. At the 2026 tournament, Simón didn’t concede a goal in Spain’s first five matches (against Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Austria and Portugal) before Belgium’s Charles De Ketelaere struck in the 41st minute of their quarter-final tie. Simón beat the previous record of 518 minutes, by Italy’s Walter Zenga in 1990.
