Muslims in sport: athletes, teams, tournaments, results and firsts.

Listed is not endorsed: the museum records what is documented and links to the source. It ranks nothing by taste.

All records

  • 2034 FIFA World Cup 2034 Tournament Scheduled

    The 25th FIFA World Cup, to be hosted by Saudi Arabia after FIFA's confirmation on 11 December 2024 following an uncontested bidding process; the third tournament in Asia and the third in the Arab world, with its dates and final venues still to be announced.

  • Mohamed Salah 1992 Egypt

    Egyptian professional footballer, born in Nagrig, Gharbia, in 1992, who began at Al-Mokawloon, starred for Liverpool (2017–2026) winning the Champions League and Premier League titles and setting scoring records, captained Egypt at the 2026 World Cup, and plays for Trabzonspor in Türkiye since 2026.
