Qatar will host a barrage of young stars making their World Cup debuts in 2022. Of all those young guns, there will be a few who will shine. In the list below are some players who will be exciting to watch and will be using the event to achieve superstardom.
Vinicius Jr.
The attacking winger Vinicius Jr. has become a prominent player in world football after joining Spanish giants Real Madrid. During the past season, Vinicius netted 22 goals and provided 20 assists. He has a tendency to score big goals, scoring in the semifinal of the Champions League against Manchester City and then again, the title-winning goal against Liverpool in the final. Vinicius is considered one of the best young forwards at the moment.
Ansu Fati
Ansu Fati is often referred to as one of the top wonderkids in football. He scored his first goal for Barcelona when he was just 16-years old. While Fati suffered from injuries during the last two seasons, he has played quality football since returning to full fitness. Fati scored his first goal for Barcelona as a 16-year-old. In his first match for Spain, Fati became the national team's youngest-ever goal scorer. He has made only four senior international appearances since his debut in 2020, scoring just one goal. However, his future promises to be very bright.
Nuno Mendes
Nuno Mendes from Portugal will catch eyeballs with his speed and technical skills. He plays for PSG in club competitions. The 20-year-old has scored two goals and assisted twice for the French giants. In March 2021, Mendes made his Portugal debut. It is likely that Mendes will play a key role in Fernando Santos' Qatar trip as he has played 16 international matches for Portugal.
Jude Bellingham
At the age of 17, Jude Bellingham made his senior England debut. A world record transfer fee for a 17-year old occurred when Bellingham moved from Birmingham City to Borussia Dortmund. Bellingham's talent can be measured by the fact that his transfer set a record transfer fee at that time. As a regular goal scorer for Dortmund, Bellingham has scored 19 goals and assisted on 20 during his time there. Gareth Southgate will count on Bellingham to play an important role for England.
The aforementioned individuals have the best possibility of succeeding at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, but there are still a lot of other young players that can impress.
