With the FIFA World Cup 2018 just over a fortnight away, the mercury is rising across the globe.
One of the biggest sporting extravaganzas on the planet will kick start in Russia on June 14. 32 teams will fight it out for the holy grail of the football in the tournament which will end on July 15.
Of the 32 teams taking part, 20 of those will be making back-to-back appearances, including reigning champions, Germany. There are also some teams who are appearing in the World Cup for the very first time such as Iceland and Panama.
But before the FIFA World Cup 2018 gets underway, there is excitement all around over the players who would make it to World Cup. The teams have already started announcing their squads for the most prestigious tournament in world football.
In almost every edition, new faces have managed to hog the limelight. Thomas Mueller in 2010 or James Rodrigues in 2014 are some of the examples who became household names after their exploits in the tournament.
In addition, the fans will also witness Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo representing their respective countries.
So, how many players will make the cut and when will we find out exactly who is going to FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia? Sportzwiki has got it all sorted for you.
