Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Dominik Livaković (Croatia) made the most saves at the 2022 World Cup with 25, including 11 against Brazil in the quarter-finals. Wojciech Szczęsny (Poland) was also among the tournament's standout goalkeepers, making 22 saves in four matches.
FIFA does not prominently publish an official tournament save-percentage leaderboard for Qatar 2022, but Emiliano Martínez was one of the competition's standout goalkeepers. He won the Golden Glove after helping Argentina win the World Cup, making decisive penalty-shootout saves against the Netherlands and France and producing a famous last-minute stop to deny Randal Kolo Muani in the final.
Tim Howard (USA) holds the Guinness World Record for most saves in a single World Cup match, 16 saves against Belgium in the Round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The USA lost 2–1 in extra time, but Howard was named Man of the Match. His 16 saves broke the previous record of 13 by Peru's Ramón Quiroga against the Netherlands in 1978.
Thibaut Courtois (Belgium) won the Golden Glove at the 2018 World Cup. He made 27 saves across Belgium's campaign, reaching the semi-finals, including crucial stops against Japan and Brazil. He saved 81.5% of shots faced. His performances included a remarkable display in the quarter-final against Brazil, where he made key saves to keep Belgium in the game until they won 2–1.
Save percentage measures the proportion of shots on target that a goalkeeper saves. At the 2022 World Cup, Szczęsny saved 81.5% of shots he faced, one of the highest among regular starters. Save percentage is most meaningful when combined with the volume of shots faced: a goalkeeper facing 2 shots and saving both (100%) tells us less than one facing 12 and saving 10 (83%). The Shot Stopper leaderboard combines both metrics.
No goalkeeper is known to have saved every penalty in a World Cup shootout. The record for the most saves in a single World Cup shootout is three, achieved by Portugal's Ricardo (2006), Croatia's Danijel Subašić (2018), and Croatia's Dominik Livaković (2022). Livaković's three saves against Japan helped Croatia win the shootout 3–1.
