About the CIES Football Observatory
The CIES Football Observatory is a unique project initiated in 2005 by Drs Raffaele Poli and
Loïc Ravenel under the name of the Professional Football Players Observatory (PFPO). Since
2011 it is one of the cornerstones of the broader CIES Sports Observatory project, dedicated to
the statistical analysis of sport in all its diversity.
Two annual reports are published for football. In January, the Demographic Study presents an
in-depth analysis of club composition and player characteristics in 31 top division leagues of
UEFA member countries. In June, the Annual Review analyses clubs and players in the big-5
European leagues from a demographic, economic and pitch performance perspective.
Methodological rigour coupled with a deep knowledge of football guarantee high quality analyses at competitive rates.

About the CIES
The International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) is an independent study centre located in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. It was created in 1995 as a joint venture between
the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the University
of Neuchâtel, the City and State of Neuchatel.
Using a multi-disciplinary approach CIES provides research, top-level education and consulting
services to the sports world with the aim of overcoming the complexities of sport in today’s society and improving how it is governed and managed.

Foreword
The 20th FIFA World Cup will start on 12th June in Brazil and will generate huge media interest.
The CIES Football Observatory is now pleased to be able to present new and exclusive data
on the 32 teams who will be taking part in this mega event with the 2014 World Cup Preview.
This new Football Observatory report analyses the profile of players used by each national
team during the qualification process. For Brazil, we took into account footballers employed in
friendly matches played during the qualification phase and in the Confederations Cup.
The average age of players on the pitch for teams that qualified was 27.2. The oldest team was
Australia (30.2 years), while the youngest was Nigeria (24.2). The average age on the pitch of
European nations varies from 28.6 years for Italy and Russia to 24.7 for Belgium. The youngest
player fielded was Fabrice Olinga (16.8 years during the match between Cameroon and Togo
on 23/03/2013), while the oldest was Mark Schwarzer (40.7 years during the Australia v. Iraq
match on 18/06/2013).
The employer club whose footballers played the most minutes during World Cup qualification
matches was Real Madrid (10,549 minutes), followed by FC Barcelona (9,549) and Bayern
Munich (9,351). The first non-European club, Esteghlal FC of Iran (5,061 minutes), ranked only
14th. This finding reflects both the over-representation of European teams in the World Cup and
the high concentration of top level players in the most competitive European leagues.
In total, 48.9% of World Cup qualification minutes were played by footballers under contract with
top division clubs in England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France. All national teams qualified
fielded players employed by big-5 league clubs. However, the percentage of minutes played
by big-5 league footballers was below 25% for Australia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Iran,
South Korea and Russia. These nations will most probably struggle to qualify for the knockout
stages.
Only about one third of the qualification minutes were played by footballers playing in domestic
leagues. This percentage was 0% for Cameroon and the Ivory Coast. The percentage was also
under 5% for Uruguay, Bosnia, Ghana and Belgium. At the opposite end of the spectrum, domestic league based footballers played 100% of minutes in the English side. All other qualified
nations fielded at least one player under contract with a foreign team.
We hope that you will enjoy the new statistics presented in our 2014 World Cup Preview and
we stay at your disposal for more analysis.
