User:Tiburon/Sandbox/1995 Rugby League World Cup squads

This article lists the confirmed national football squads for the 2006 FIFA World Cup tournament held in Germany, between June 9 and July 9, 2006. Before announcing their final squad, several teams named a provisional squad of 23 to 33 players, but each country's final squad of 23 players had to be submitted by May 15, 2006. Replacement of injured players was permitted until 24 hours before the team's first world cup game. Players marked (c) were named as captain for their national squad. Number of caps counts until the start of the World Cup, including all pre-tournament friendlies. Club information is that used by FIFA. Players for whom this information changed during or in the run up to the tournament are indicated by footnotes.

Player representation by league
The Italian and Saudi Arabian squads were made up entirely of players from the respective countries' domestic leagues. The Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) squad was made up entirely of players employed by overseas clubs (in fact, only one of their players is employed on the African continent; the other 22 all play in Europe). Although Turkey, Scotland, and Russia failed to qualify for the finals, their domestic leagues were represented by 12, 11, and 10 players respectively: altogether, there were 48 national leagues who had players in the tournament.
