1978 FIFA World Cup squads

Below are the squads for the 1978 FIFA World Cup final tournament in Argentina.

Note that this squad is numbered alphabetically by surname, unlike traditional numbering systems where the goalkeeper has shirt number 1 and so forth.

Head coach: Michel Hidalgo

Head coach: Enzo Bearzot

Head coach: José Antonio Roca

Head coach: Jacek Gmoch

Head coach: Abdelmajid Chetali

Head coach: Cláudio Coutinho

Head coach: Ladislao Kubala

Head coach: Georg Ericson

Head coach: Heshmat Mohajerani

Head coach: Ernst Happel

Jan Jongbloed wore number 8 because some of the players who had been in the Dutch squad at the 1974 FIFA World Cup, where the Netherlands used a purely alphabetical numbering system, were given the same numbers again in 1978. Hugo Hovenkamp withdrew from the squad before the tournament began, but after the deadline for naming replacement players had passed. The Netherlands thus went to the World Cup with only 21 players.
