Although the World Cup happening this year is still far away, the country hosting the world cup is already a hot topic in the sports world. With the first World Cup ever held in the Middle East, there are even  higher hopes for this event than in previous editions. For one thing, tournament hosts have promised to build some of the most impressive stadiums and competitions ever seen in a single year in Qatar.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is still one of the top players in the world at his position. A player in Ronaldo’s position should be retired or unable to perform at their peak, but he defies the odds and continues to amaze us all. Thanks to his fame and consistent success, many sportsbooks, such as Unibet sports betting, place great attention on matches which feature the player. With over 220 million followers on Instagram, Ronaldo is the first individual ever to reach that number of followers, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Kevin De Bruyne

De Bruyne continues to be one of the greatest players in the world, playing for a team which has been predicted to win the World Cup in the  near future, Belgium. In 2014, he was a member of the team that advanced to the quarterfinals; four years later, they came in third.

De Bruyne has revealed that he is eager to make the most of the forthcoming tournament as he is unsure if he will have another opportunity to win the World Cup as his duties as a father will soon catch up to the player.

Kylian Mbappe

The French national soccer team won the 2018 World Cup. The game’s greatest goal was scored by a 19-year-old player in the final. Those players were Kylian Mbappe and Adrien Rabiot. As a result, Mbappe’s performance has only improved. He’s now regarded as one of the world’s top players and most sought after. A superb dribbler with lightning-fast feet and excellent ball control, Kylian Mbappe is a talent to keep an eye on in Qatar.

Virgil Van Dijk

Most of these players play in positions of offensive or midfield, but not Van Dijk. He plays as a defender. We’ve included him on our list of the best players to watch in Qatar since he is probably one of the greatest defenders in the world. Football fans throughout the world look forward to the World Cup every year. Regardless of whether their country participates, all will come in to watch. People enjoy watching the World Cup because they can witness the world’s greatest players compete in the same tournament.

There is good news for football enthusiasts in that the World Cup of 2022 is set to feature some outstanding athletes.
