The Club World Cup, a tournament featuring 32 teams, will be held in the United States from June 14 to July 13, showcasing some of the world’s top soccer talent.
Some are household names with huge followings.
Others are much more under the radar and not often on American television (the Club World Cup’s 63 matches are available to stream for free on DAZN).
Let’s take a look at 10 intriguing players to watch in the next few weeks:
