🚨 Four of the five most populated countries in the world did NOT qualify for the 2026 World Cup:
🇮🇳❌ India: 1.451 BILLION
🇨🇳❌ China: 1.049 BILLION
🇮🇩❌ Indonesia: 283 MILLION
🇵🇰❌ Pakistan: 251.3 MILLION
Their combined population is 3.0343 BILLION people, which is around 37% of the world's population. 😔
@DataOfStats Very simply, you just need to take the number of fans who attended World Cup matches (all nations) and calculate it in relation to the population of that country. This list would be significantly different.
Tarik Muharemovic made his Bosnia debut against England on June 3rd, 2024, replacing Anel Ahmedhodzic.
It marked Ahmedhodzic's final gathering with the national team after saying he lost his pride for Bosnia.
Now, Tarik is headed to the World Cup, while Anel stays home.
