Three Swansea City players are set to feature at the 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer after being included in their national team squads for the tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Marko Stamenic, Jisung Eom and Cameron Burgess have all earned call-ups for the global showpiece, which begins on June 11. Their selections mean Swansea will have representation across multiple international sides at one of football’s biggest events.
Stamenic has been named in New Zealand’s squad after the All Whites secured qualification in March 2025 by advancing through the Oceania section. It marks a major moment for the nation, which will be appearing at the World Cup finals for the first time since 2010.
New Zealand’s group campaign includes three fixtures. They face Iran on Tuesday, June 16 at 2am BST, before taking on Egypt on Monday, June 22 at 2am BST. Their final group game is against Belgium on Saturday, June 27 at 4am BST.
The inclusion of Stamenic continues a strong international period for the Swansea midfielder, who has established himself as part of New Zealand’s plans for the tournament. His presence adds to the club’s growing list of players involved on the world stage this summer.
Jisung Eom has also been selected for his national squad, further underlining Swansea’s international reach. The South Korea player is another member of the squad heading to North America for the competition, where he will look to help his country progress deep into the tournament.
Cameron Burgess is the latest Swansea player to receive World Cup confirmation, completing the trio of Swans set for the finals. His call-up adds another link between the Championship club and the tournament, with Swansea set to be well represented when the action starts.
For Swansea, the selections are a notable boost in terms of prestige, highlighting the quality and international profile within the squad. Having three players involved in a World Cup is a significant achievement for the club and reflects the range of talent on show at the Swansea.com Stadium.
The 2026 World Cup is being staged across three countries for the first time, with matches hosted in the United States, Mexico and Canada. The expanded tournament will feature more teams than previous editions, creating a larger and more demanding competition.
Swansea supporters will have additional interest in the event as they follow the progress of Stamenic, Eom and Burgess with their national teams. For New Zealand, the tournament carries added significance as they return to the finals after a 16-year absence, aiming to make an impact on football’s biggest stage.
