- The very much anticipated is almost here, and the world can’t wait for the biggest party in football to go down later this year
- The most talented young player can’t wait as well to play in the most prestigious tournament for the first time
- Phil Foden, for instance, is one of the young players to watch come November; the Man City young star’s stats have been impressive
The 2022 FIFA World Cup is less than six months away, and the football world is preparing for the year’s biggest party in Qatar. It’s not too early to start getting excited over the sensational encounters that will take place beginning November 21.
France, the defending champions, enter the competition as the favourite due to their extremely good squad. Brazil, England, and Argentina are also considered strong contenders to win the trophy in Qatar.
This prestigious competition will feature some of the world’s top players and will be a wonderful experience for many young players.
A few young footballers will make their World Cup debuts, and some national teams would be remiss if they did not include these enticing, multi-talented youngsters.
1. Phill Foden

Phil Foden has already won four Premier League titles with Man City and seven other career trophies at the age of 22. However, Foden will make his FIFA World Cup debut in Qatar, and all eyes will be on him.
Foden was outstanding in England’s FIFA U-17 World Cup victory in 2017, winning the Golden Ball award. He’s already made 15 England appearances, but he’ll want to save his best for the FIFA World Cup.
Foden’s offensive versatility, combined with his unforeseeable skill set, makes him an asset to the Three Lions.
Because of his movement, dribbling capacity, creativity, and finishing abilities, he has the potential to be England’s “ace in the hole” in the attacking areas.
Foden’s appealing style makes him a significant threat for the Three Lions, and if he can find his rhythm, he can carry them far in the tournament.

Gavi has already documented a remarkable personal history for Spain at 17. He is the youngest player ever to score a goal, and the teenager shows no signs of slowing down. He’ll only get better from here.
He is considered a key member of Spain’s squad by manager Luis Enrique, which means he will play in World Cup matches.
The 17-year-old can play almost any position in midfield and forward. His creativity, passing ability, and pressing style make him extremely difficult to oppose.
Despite his youth, Gavi is an essential member of the Spain team, often dictating how they play while also creating attacks.
Gavi will be playing in his first-ever World Cup in Qatar later this year, and his great maturity means he should adjust quickly to the top level for Spain.
3. Giovanni Reyna

The United States Men’s National Football Team has been drawn in a relatively difficult World Cup group, alongside Wales and England.
They’ll need exceptional performances to advance past the group stage, and their players will need to shine. Giovanni Reyna is one player to watch.
The 19-year-old Dortmund winger has been a revelation for the Bundesliga club and has been promoted quickly to the senior squad. The winger has four goals in 12 games for the USA. Reyna’s speed and dribbling skills make him a joy to watch.
Furthermore, he is skilled at finishing chances from close range and is prolific in the final third with his final delivery.
The 19-year-old will find a way to make a name for himself in Qatar and demonstrate his full potential where it counts.
4. Bukayo Saka

England has a wide variety of talented young players ready to brighten up the World Cup. Bukayo Saka is one player who appears to have Gareth Southgate’s trust.
Since his heart-breaking penalty miss in the Euro 2020 final against Italy, the Arsenal winger has been a realisation.
Last season, he scored 12 goals and provided seven assists in 38 English Premier League appearances for Arsenal, making him one of the league’s most exciting young players to watch.
Saka is a threatening and exciting player due to his quick movement, masterful dribbling ability, and potential to cut in from the right-wing.
The Arsenal youngster can play in a range of positions and is also defensively sound, making him an excellent choice for Southgate.
