The start of the Qatar 2022 World Cup is just around the corner. Unfortunately, not all teams will be able to attend and be part of the biggest sporting event in the world. Most likely, everyone is already aware of the vast majority of teams that will be present at the World Cup, but below, we will review the 10 teams that will not be at the next FIFA World Cup.
One of the teams that caused the most impact when giving the news of their absence in the next World Cup is definitely Italy. The Azzurra will only be able to enjoy the event from home. Italy, occupies the 7th position of the FIFA ranking.
The Colombians are also part of a list of teams that incredibly will not attend the next World Cup. With big players like louis diaz, louis muriel, Rafael Borreetc, coffee growers will only be able to enjoy the World Cup from home.
With a generation of young and interesting footballers, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Sweden will be another big absentee from this event. Sweden is ranked 20th in the FIFA ranking.
Anyone who closely follows South American football knows that Chile has failed to make a good “pass of the baton” between generations, feeling too much the twilight of its golden generation. Even so, he had the potential and squad to be in the World Cup: they stand out Arturo vidal, Edward VargasY Charles Aranguiz.
Norway today has its golden generation, but unfortunately for fans of Erling Haland the quality of this young group was not enough to guarantee them a place in the 2022 World Cup.
Of the African teams, it is probably the most powerful and the quality of its players. Nigerians will not be able to attend the event most awaited by all football players. Currently ranked 31st in the FIFA ranking.
Continuing on the list of European teams that could do well in Qatar, we have the Czech Republic , 32nd best team in the world according to the FIFA ranking. The current Czech squad has pieces of a good technical level, such as Patrick Schick, Tomas Soucek Y Vladimir Coufal.
Despite having a great campaign in the current Nations League, they occupy the position 37 of the FIFA ranking. A historical selection that very likely could have continued to expand its history. Unfortunately they will only be able to enjoy the event from the sofa at home.
The Ukrainian team, even with problems in the national territory due to invasion issues, was very close to qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar, but ended up being defeated in the European playoffs.
Algeria won the African Cup of Nations in 2019 and has great players in its squad, such as Riyad Mahrez and Andy Delort, but it was not enough for them to say ‘present’ at the next World Cup. The Algerian team is in the position number 41 in the FIFA ranking.
