The future stars of the World Cup. BESOCCER

Many people question whether Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi will manage to play at the Qatar World Cup in 2022; their ages casting doubt over any possible appearance. Yet, the void left by the kings of the last decade, has left room for many talented young players, who have four years before arriving to stake their own claim for the starring role.

The following list contains many names that are already recognised on the global stage, who will be at their peak age to shine, when the most demanding tournament on earth, rolls around once more in four years time.

These jewels in the crown of World football are already establishing themselves within the biggest clubs and national sides on the planet, and are surely destined to reach the summit of the game in the not so distant future...

Kylian Mbappé (France)

At the next World Cup, he will only be 23 years old, his 24th birthday is set to fall just weeks after the tournament concludes.

Marco Asensio (Spain)

He will be 26 years old at the next World Cup.

Isco (Spain)

He will surely be the elder statesmen of the Spanish side at 30 years old, when the next World Cup arrives.

Neymar Jr (Brazil)

Having already led his nation at two World Cups, the forward will be 30 years old at the next edition of the competition.

Vinicius Jr (Brazil)

Another star for the future, Vinicius will still only be 22 years old for the next World Cup.

Justin Kluivert (Holland)

He will arrive at the World Cup aged 23.

Already a tournament winner, the forward will return to defend the crown, aged 33.

Having suffered disappointment by being omitted from the last tournament, he will hit the next one in peak condition at 26 years old.

Paulo Dybala (Argentina)

He will be 29 years old by the time the next tournament rolls around.

Hirving Lozano (Mexico)

The 'El Tri' striker will lead the line for Mexico at the next tournament aged 27.

Christian Pulisic (USA)

He will make his maiden World Cup bow aged 24 years.
