The world of business and finance has imposed itself on football, and the prices of players and the value of clubs and teams have become one of the criteria that one team is proud of at the expense of another.

Two teams, among the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, crossed the one billion euro barrier as a marketing value for their players, and the top ten teams were divided between the continents of Europe (7) and South America (3).

In these lines, we take a look at these teams, according to the numbers and data of the transfermarkt website, which specializes in numbers and statistics.

Uruguay national team

The Celeste team that won the World Cup twice (1930 and 1950) is on this list thanks to its players spread across the old continent.

The market value of the Uruguay team is 395.40 million euros, more than half of which came from only 3 players, who are active in the Spanish and English leagues.

Federico Valverde (Real Madrid star) tops the list of the most expensive players with 80 million euros, followed by his compatriot Darwin Nunez (Liverpool striker) with 70 million, and then Ronald Araujo (Barcelona defender), who has a market value of 60 million.

Netherlands national team

The title of "Uncrowned World Champion" stuck with the Netherlands, considering that it reached the World Cup final 3 times (1974, 1978 and 2010), but never achieved the title.

“The Mills” return to the 2022 World Cup, after they stopped spinning in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and the marketing value of the Dutch players is 472.75 million euros.

Matthias de Ligt (Bayern Munich defender) comes at the top of the list with 70 million euros, followed by his former colleague (in Ajax) Frenkie de Jong, (the current Barcelona field average) with 60 million, then Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool defensive line captain) with 55 million.

Belgium national team

The world is waiting for the level at which the Belgian national team will appear in the World Cup, how not, as it includes a distinguished lineup of players in various lines.

The total market value of the children of Spanish coach Roberto Martinez is about 554 million euros, most notably Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City star) with 85 million.

It is noteworthy that the second most expensive player in the “Red Devils” squad is Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid goalkeeper and best goalkeeper in the world for 2022) and his market value reached 60 million euros, then Yuri Tielemans (Leicester City player) with a value of 45 million.

Argentina national team

Attention will be focused on the Argentine national team, in anticipation of what will be presented by the companions of captain Lionel Messi, who recently confirmed that the World Cup in Qatar will be his last with his country.

The "Tango" team - which has a market value of 608 million euros - is considered one of the strongest candidates to lift the title, which if achieved would add a third star to the shirt after the 1978 and 1986 World Cups.

It is noteworthy that Messi comes in third among the "tango" players, along with his compatriot Lisandro Martinez (Manchester United defender), and the value of each of them is 50 million euros.

At the top of the list is Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan striker), with a value of 75 million euros, followed by Christian Romero (Tottenham defender) with 55 million.

Germany national team

The German national team arrives at the World Cup in Qatar, with several goals in mind, the least of which is to erase the fading image that it performed in the World Cup Russia 2018, after its exit from the first round.

And the "Mannchevt" that has won the World Cup 4 times (1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014) has a group of players capable of achieving this task, with a market value of about 746 million euros:

Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich's average field) and his young colleague Jamal Musiala, the most expensive among their colleagues, with a value of 85 million euros, followed by Kai Havertz (Chelsea player) with 70 million.

Spain national team

The strength of the Spain national team consists of names that combine the elements of experience and youth, and these are the choices of coach Luis Enrique, who is being criticized by the local press.

And the luster of this team faded globally after the 2010 World Cup, and Europe after Euro 2012, so Enrique's task will be to dust off the "Matador" team - whose players' market value is 805 million euros - not without challenges.

And in the list are the two young Barcelona stars in the most expensive list, Pedri and Gavi, with 90 million euros for the first and 70 million for the second, with Rodri (Manchester City star) in the middle, with a value of 80 million.

Portugal national team

The failure of Portugal to win the World Cup in the past did not reduce the market value of the team, which reached 882 million euros, and placed it in fourth place in the world.

Portugal's best achievements were the third place in the 1966 World Cup, and the fourth in the 2006 World Cup. It can be said that the anticipation and waiting for the fans of "Brazil of Europe" is what will happen in Qatar.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United's average field) is the most expensive Portuguese player with 85 million euros, followed by his compatriots (in neighbor Manchester City) Bernardo Silva with 80 million euros, and Robin Diaz with 75 million.

On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, is the best player in the world 5 times, as his market value fell to only 20 million euros.

France national team

The French national team faces a new challenge, in addition to the task of preserving the 2018 World Cup title, which is to break the rule that the crowned team exits from the previous version of the first round.

Since the 2010 World Cup, the world champions leave the World Cup from the group stage (Italy 2010), Spain (2014), Germany (2018), which is something the "roosters" seek to avoid, especially since they have previous experience in that, specifically in South Korea and Japan 2002.

The French national team is armed with high-caliber players, with a market value of 886 million euros.

The French team includes the most expensive player in the World Cup, which is the "rooster" Kylian Mbappe (St Germain star) with 160 million euros.

With a difference of up to half, there is Christopher Nkunku (Leipzig striker) in second place, the same value as Aurelien Chawamini (Average of Real Square).

Brazilian national team

Brazil dominates the most important numbers of the World Cup, as it is the only one that has participated in all tournaments since its inception in 1930, and is the most crowned with 5 cups (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002).

The "samba" team is one of two teams whose players' value exceeded one billion euros, specifically 1.09 billion.

Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid's young player) is at the top, with a value of 120 million euros, followed by Neymar da Silva and Anthony (St Germain and Manchester United players) with 75 million.

England national team

It can be said that the England team benefited from the very high market value of the English Premier League, and the presence of the majority of its players, to be the most expensive team in the World Cup at 1.36 billion euros.

Despite this, the "Three Lions" team has only an orphan title in the World Cup (1966), and successive generations have failed to add a new cup, whether in the World Cup or the Euro.

There are 3 players in the England squad, with a market value of 90 million euros, and they are Harry Kane (Tottenham), Jodi Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund) and Phil Foden (Manchester City).

They are followed by Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) and Declan Ray (West Ham United), each worth 80 million euros.
