THIERRY HENRY BIO

International sports icon Thierry Henry joins FOX Sports this coming summer as one of the network’s marquee analysts for FIFA World Cup 2026™ from Thursday, June 11 to Sunday, July 19, 2026. Henry made his FOX Sports debut on the network’s coverage of the Final Draw on December 5, 2025.

Recognized as one of the best strikers to ever play the beautiful game, Henry is one of the greatest goal scorers in France’s history with 51 goals in 123 career appearances and set a club record 228 goals with Arsenal in the Premier League. He is the first player to ever win back-to-back European Golden Boots and the first player to ever win Domestic Golden Boots three years in succession. This coupled with winning two consecutive English Player of the Year Awards, five French Player of the Year Awards (all feats never to have been achieved before) are just a few of Henry’s impressive accolades.

His decorated career as an attacking forward featured countless all-time great moments for several European clubs, led by Arsenal where he rewrote record books, as well as AS Monaco, FC Barcelona and Juventus. In 2010, he announced his arrival in the United States signing with Major League Soccer’s New York Red Bulls, where he would go on to make 122 appearances and score 14 game-winning goals in four years with the club, winning the Shield in 2013.

Henry played in four FIFA World Cup™ tournaments with France representing the national team in 1998, where he helped France win the tournament in its home country, 2002, 2006 and 2010. He announced his retirement from professional soccer in 2014. Since retiring, Henry has featured for club and country as a coach managing AS Monaco and Montreal Impact on the club side, as well as the Belgium National Team and French U21 and U23 Olympic teams, the latter which won the silver medal in Paris 2024. He’s also earned critical acclaim for his work as a commentator and analyst in the U.K. and U.S.
