bold are represented at the tournament. • The
Qatar (hosts) and
Saudi Arabia squads were made up entirely of players from the countries' domestic leagues. • The
Senegal squad was the only squad not to include any players employed by clubs in their home country. • The
Canada and
Wales squads both included players employed by domestic clubs, but no players employed in the
Canadian or
Welsh domestic league systems. All Canadian domestic players played for Canadian teams in the American
Major League Soccer; all Welsh domestic players played for Welsh teams in the English
EFL Championship. • Two squads had only one domestic-based player (
Argentina and
Serbia). • The
Brazil squad had the most players from a single foreign federation, with 12 players employed in
England. • Of the countries not represented by a national team at the World Cup,
Italy's league provided the most squad members, with 70. • The second-tier English Championship had 29 players selected, though none for England. • The lowest league on a domestic pyramid to be represented at the World Cup was
EFL League Two, the English fourth tier. It was represented by Welsh players
