The finals of nine FIFA 11-a-side tournaments, including three men's World Cups, have gone to penalty shoot-outs. Some of the notable matches are as follows.
Three times, in 1994, 2006, and 2022, the Men's World Cup title has been decided by a penalty shoot-out. Of the 35 shoot-outs that have taken place in the competition, only two reached the sudden death stage after still being tied at the end of "best of five kicks".
Just a reminder that fields during the 2026 World Cup WILL be grass fields — not turf — and stadiums with turf fields will be swapping for grass, including MetLife. The surface during the CWC this past summer was immaculate.
But Mead had clearly kicked the ball twice, hitting it against her standing foot as her boot slipped on the grass, and replays confirmed what referee Stephanie Frappart suspected.
