Michael Olise Overtakes Pelé's World Cup Assist Record

France's attacking talent Michael Olise has etched his name into World Cup history, establishing a new benchmark for assists in a single tournament. His impressive playmaking has seen him rack up seven assists in his seven appearances throughout the competition.

This tally of seven assists moves Olise past the previous record holder, Brazilian football icon Pelé. Pelé had previously set the highest assist count for a single World Cup tournament, a record that had stood for a significant period before Olise's recent exploits.
