2022 FIFA World Cup squads

The 2022 FIFA World Cup was an international football tournament held in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022.

The 32 national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of up to 26 players, including three goalkeepers.

[1] A provisional release list of between 35 and 55 players per national team was submitted to FIFA by 21 October 2022, one month prior to the opening match of the tournament.

From the preliminary squad, the final list of at most 26 and at least 23 players per national team were submitted to FIFA by 14 November, 19:00 AST (UTC+3), six days prior to the opening match of the tournament.

The team doctor and the FIFA General Medical Officer had to both confirm that the injury or illness was severe enough to prevent the player from participating in the tournament.

This was due to the timing of the tournament in the football calendar and the disruptive effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The numbers of caps and goals listed for each player do not include any matches played after the start of the tournament.
