Qatar will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which will begin on November 20. In this year's FIFA World Cup Tournament, 32 teams have chosen their tickets and will compete for football's biggest prize.
The World Cup is the most important tournament in football, so teams do everything they can to qualify, and when they do, they always send their best squad. National Team Coaches always call up or select the best Footballers from their respective countries to represent them in the tournament in order to win the Grand Prize.
According to available statistics, veterans and experienced players always dominate the list of players who participate in the FIFA World Cup, but this does not mean that young players do not have the opportunity to play on the biggest stage of football.
Young talents have had the opportunity to showcase their talents at World Cups over the years, and this year's FIFA World Cup edition will be no exception.
Here is a list of the top six teenagers aged 19 and under to keep an eye on during the World Cup.
1. Pedri - 19 years old - Spain:
In the last two seasons, Pedro González López, better known as "Pedri," has been the backbone of Barcelona's midfield. He was the former custodian of the Balon D'or Kopa Trophy and Golden Boy Winner before handing it over to compatriot Gavi.
Pedri definitely set a good example for Gavi to follow, and both are expected to play important roles for Spain in the FIFA World Cup.
2. Alejandro Balde Martnez - 19 Years - Spain:
Alejandro Balde is a surprise inclusion in Luis Enrique's 26-man World Cup squad. The Barcelona fullback was a surprise inclusion, replacing the injured Gaya, who will now miss the tournament due to injury.
Alejandro Balde broke into Barcelona's team this season and quickly established himself as the team's first-choice leftback.
3. Jude Bellingham - England - 19:
Jude Bellingham is arguably the most exciting English talent in the world right now. Since joining Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020, English midfielder Jude Bellingham has been outstanding. Southgate expects the 19-year-old to replicate his Dortmund form for the Three Lions in his first competitive tournament for England at the World Cup.
4. Jamal Musiala, Germany, age 19:
Jamal Musiala is currently one of the hottest German talents in the world. Jamal Musiala, a German midfielder who joined Bayern Munich from Chelsea, has been outstanding.
Jamal Musiala has scored 22 goals for Bayern Munich this season and will be an important member of Hansi Flick's German team at the World Cup.
5. Pablo Gavi - Spain - Age 18:
