This
This will be the first appearance of Iceland in the FIFA World Cup

2) Aron Gunnarsson

Iceland v Austria - Group F: UEFA Euro 2016
Gunnarsson will be leading the side

Gunnarsson will be leading the team in their first-ever appearance in the World Cup. He is currently playing as a midfielder for Cardiff City FC who competes in the English Premier League. He has played 77 matches for the Iceland national team.

Gunnarsson played for Coventry City in the English Championship. He has played 123 games for them and scored 6 goals. Cardiff City joined Gunnarsson in 2011 and he's been playing for them since then. In his 243 appearances for Cardiff City, he has scored 24 goals. Though Gunnarsson's current season isn't going up to the mark, his experience makes him a credible player for the team. In 2017-18 season, Gunnarsson has played 20 matches and has managed to score just one goal.

Gunnarsson would be having a huge responsibility on his head as the captain of the team. He would be up to lead his team to the knockout stages of the tournament and finish at a respectable position.
