The sand clock is winding down, and the start of the World Cup in Qatar is approaching fast. With the final list of Ecuador, the list of all participants has been completed, so the world media is concerned with numbers and statistical data. From the Premier to the Latvian Premier League, the World Cup will feature 830 footballers from 56 different championships and 302 clubs. It has been calculated that the goalkeeper from Ecuador, Hernan Galindez, will have to travel the longest way to reach Qatar – about 15,000 kilometers, which is the distance between Santiago and Doha.Clubs with most players at the world cup#QatarWorldCup2022 pic.twitter.com/LTWCtWNk4K— Sports Doctor GH (@SportsDoctor94) November 15, 2022 World Cup host Qatar and Saudi Arabia are the only countries with all 26 players from their domestic leagues.
