Key player - Wales
Wales is a team under construction. They reached the World Cup through a playoff after many years without being in the World Cup. The referent, leader and legend of Wales is the former Real Madrid, Gareth Bale. The striker, who currently plays for Los Angeles FC, is the player who puts his country in the spotlight and who could be the surprise of the World Cup.
Key player - Belgium
Belgium has always been characterized by the quality of its players. For a long time it was the best team in the world according to the FIFA Ranking, and although it has now been surpassed by Brazil, Belgium remains the second best team. Now, from that great squad, many names are being mentioned, among them, that of its goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtouis. He is currently one of the best goalkeepers in the world and is the hero of Real Madrid.

Stadium
