Fastest Soccer Players In The World Today (2018 Edition)

Who are the fastest soccer players in the world today? Well, by working toward a composite of various top speeds collected throughout last year’s club season and this summer’s World Cup, we can somewhat confidently say that this list here comprises the 40 fastest soccer players in the world today. 

Most of the big hitters are here: Kylian Mbappe, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Leroy Sane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling to name just a few, but let it be known that no one matches the official FIFA World Cup record, which was set by Arjen Robben at the 2014 event with a top speed of 37 kph (22.99 mph). The Dutch roadrunner has obviously slowed down over the last four years, but here’s the complete list of the speed merchants that are now terrorizing today’s game.
