2018 World Cup Squads Confirmed by All 32 Teams (Final 23-Man Squads)

Yes, the 2018 FIFA World Cup is finally here. All eyes now turn to Russia as the quadrennial event kicks off on 14 June with the hosts taking on Saudi Arabia.

After months of deliberation and discussions, national team coaches have also announced their final 23-man squads for the World Cup. In the case of top teams, it is no easy task and coaches have a huge selection headache when it comes to deciding who books his flight and who stays at home.

Some top teams have even left behind enough top players who can actually form another team and compete with most of the nations at the World Cup this year such as Spain's Left-Behind XI and France's Left-Behind XI.

Nevertheless, 23 players from each of the 32 nations have confirmed their flights to Russia. Here's a group-wise look at each of the 23-man squads at the FIFA World Cup.

Note: 4 June was the last day to confirm squads.
