Al-Saybari is among the best in the World Cup.

Moroccan international Ismail Sabari has established himself as one of the standout stars of the 2026 World Cup, having made it onto the list of the top ten players in the tournament, according to the "FIFA Performance Power Ranking," which relies on data analysis and statistics regarding player performance during matches.

Sabari ranked tenth in the overall standings of the tournament's best players, having received a score of 7.06 in offensive performance, 6.32 in creativity and playmaking, and 5.27 in defensive performance, placing him alongside some of the most prominent stars in global football.

The Moroccan star was included in a list featuring big names, led by German Deniz Undav, Argentine Lionel Messi, French Kylian Mbappe, Brazilian Vinicius Junior, French Ousmane Dembele, and Norwegian Erling Haaland, further confirming the high level of performance the Moroccan player showcased in the tournament.

Sabari's presence in this ranking was not a coincidence, as he had an exceptional group stage role wearing the "Atlas Lions" jersey, directly contributing to the Moroccan national team's qualification for the Round of 32, under the guidance of national coach Mohamed Wahbi.

The Moroccan midfielder scored three goals during the group stage, netting against Brazil, Scotland, and Haiti, becoming the first Moroccan player and the first African player to score in his first three matches in World Cup history, an achievement that reflects his technical value and the remarkable development he has shown in recent years.

In addition to his goal contributions, Sabari stood out for his movements between the lines, his ability to create opportunities, and his connection between midfield and attack, as well as his commitment to defensive roles, which was reflected in his high ratings across various performance indicators used by FIFA.

The "FIFA Performance Power Ranking" is a new system launched by FIFA during the 2026 World Cup, providing players with a rating ranging from 0 to 10 in three main areas for field players: offensive performance, creativity and playmaking, and defensive performance, with the ranking updated after each match.
