Fifa World Cup Provisional Team List.pdf

The World Cup is just around the corner and just like the All Whites, every country has had to supply FIFA with a provisional squad list of up to 30 players. This has to be reduced to 23 players prior to the actual tournament (June 1st) but with the biggest event on the planet just weeks away, take a look at the file above to see who will be taking part, and who is in the squads to face our All Whites.

Some big names are missing the World Cup after not being selected for their respective countries, the most notable ommissions at this stage are: Ronaldinho (Brazil), Zanetti & Cambiasso (Argentina), Van Nistelrooy (Holland), and Totti (Italy).

The youngest players named are the 18-year-olds Vincent Aboubakar of Cameroon, Christian Eriksen of Denmark and Nassim Ben Khalifa of Switzerland. At the other end of the scale, the oldest players are the 39-year-old Holland goalkeeper, Sander Boschker, and England's David James, also 39 and the oldest player at the tournament.                                                                                                    NZ All Whites Manager - Ricki Herbert
