    ForewordThe 20th FIFA World Cup will start on 12th June in Brazil and will generate huge media interest.

    The CIES Football Observatory is now pleased to be able to present new and exclusive dataon the 32 teams who will be taking part in this mega event with the 2014 World Cup Preview .This new Football Observatory report analyses the pro le of players used by each nationalteam during the quali cation process. For Brazil, we took into account footballers employed infriendly matches played during the quali cation phase and in the Confederations Cup.

    The average age of players on the pitch for teams that quali ed was 27.2. The oldest team was Australia (30.2 years), while the youngest was Nigeria (24.2). The average age on the pitch ofEuropean nations varies from 28.6 years for Italy and Russia to 24.7 for Belgium. The youngestplayer elded was Fabrice Olinga (16.8 years during the match between Cameroon and Togoon 23/03/2013), while the oldest was Mark Schwarzer (40.7 years during the Australia v. Iraqmatch on 18/06/2013).

    The employer club whose footballers played the most minutes during World Cup quali cationmatches was Real Madrid (10,549 minutes), followed by FC Barcelona (9,549) and Bayern

    Munich (9,351). The rst non-European club, Esteghlal FC of Iran (5,061 minutes), ranked only14th. This nding re ects both the over-representation of European teams in the World Cup andthe high concentration of top level players in the most competitive European leagues.

    In total, 48.9% of World Cup quali cation minutes were played by footballers under contract withtop division clubs in England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France. All national teams quali ed

    elded players employed by big-5 league clubs. However, the percentage of minutes playedby big-5 league footballers was below 25% for Australia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Iran,South Korea and Russia. These nations will most probably struggle to qualify for the knockoutstages.

    Only about one third of the quali cation minutes were played by footballers playing in domesticleagues. This percentage was 0% for Cameroon and the Ivory Coast. The percentage was alsounder 5% for Uruguay, Bosnia, Ghana and Belgium. At the opposite end of the spectrum, do-mestic league based footballers played 100% of minutes in the English side. All other quali ed

    nations elded at least one player under contract with a foreign team.We hope that you will enjoy the new statistics presented in our 2014 World Cup Preview andwe stay at your disposal for more analysis.
