There is now less than a year until the 2022 FIFA World Cup kicks off in Qatar on Nov. 21, with a number of teams having already confirmed their participation in the recent international break.
The World Cup often offers young players a chance to shine on the biggest stage of all and Qatar will be no different. Here's nine players under the age of 21, from some of the qualified nations, who could announce themselves next year when the action begins.
Dusan Vlahovic, 21, Fiorentina / Serbia
Already an established Serie A forward with Fiorentina, the Serbia international helped fire his country to an automatic World Cup place in the 2-1 win over Portugal and, if his development continues at its current pace, the Balkan nation might even have a potential Golden Boot winner among their ranks.
