The Italian and Saudi Arabian squads were made up entirely of players from the respective countries' domestic leagues. The Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) squad was made up entirely of players employed by overseas clubs (in fact, only one of their players is employed on the African continent; the other 22 all play in Europe). Although Turkey, Scotland, and Russia failed to qualify for the finals, their domestic leagues were represented by 12, 11, and 10 players respectively: altogether, there were 48 national leagues who had players in the tournament.
