Ellyes Skhiri's own goal during Tunisia's 3-1 defeat to the Netherlands brought the total number of own goals in the 2026 FIFA World Cup to 12. This matches the record set during the 2018 tournament.

The Netherlands opened the scoring in the match following a cross from Dumfries that was inadvertently finished by Skhiri. The early own goal contributed to Tunisia's loss and marked the 12th such incident of the tournament so far.
