World Cup 2022: FIFA approves 26-man squads for Qatar tournament

FIFA approves 26-man squads for this year’s World Cup in Qatar. The move is in line with recent national competitions and is an expansion of the 23-man squads that had been used before the coronavirus pandemic.

Fifa also said up to 15 substitutes can be named for a game, meaning no player misses out. The deadline for all 32 countries competing to submit their final squads is 20 October – 30 days before the first game between Senegal and the Netherlands at the Al Thumama Stadium.

Fifa also said that no more than 26 people – up to 15 substitutes and 11 team officials, of which one must be the team doctor – will be allowed to sit on the bench.
