The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) has revealed the world’s cheapest football team, based on the market value of the players in the last year. The team consists of 11 players from different countries, who have been selected for their low price, quality and popularity.
According to the IFFHS, the world’s cheapest football team has a total value of only £9,385, which is less than half of what Lionel Messi, the world’s most valuable player, earns in an hour. Messi, who plays for Barcelona and Argentina, has a market value of €200 million and a salary of €71 million per year, which means he makes about £20,000 per hour.
The world’s cheapest football team, on the other hand, is composed of players who have barely played for their clubs or countries, and who have very low market values. The team was chosen based on the data from Transfermarkt, a website that tracks the market value of football players.
The goalkeeper of the world’s cheapest football team is Jordan Zemura, who plays for Bournemouth and Zimbabwe. He has a market value of only £385, making him the cheapest player in the world. He has only played one game for his club and none for his country.
The defenders of the world’s cheapest football team are Gavin Kilkenny, Jaidon Anthony and Sean Longstaff, who play for Bournemouth, England and Newcastle United respectively. They have a market value of only £769, £769 and £962 respectively, making them the second, third and fourth cheapest players in the world. They have only played two, three and four games for their clubs and none for their countries.
The midfielders of the world’s cheapest football team are Damaris Egurrola, Hasegawa, Sembrant and Billa, who play for Everton, Gamba Osaka, Juventus and Hoffenheim respectively. They have a market value of only £700, £700, £750 and £750 respectively, making them the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth cheapest players in the world. They have only played five, six, seven and eight games for their clubs and none for their countries.
The forwards of the world’s cheapest football team are Pickett, van Egmond and García, who play for Kansas City, West Ham United and Athletic Bilbao respectively. They have a market value of only £750, £750 and £750 respectively, making them the ninth, tenth and eleventh cheapest players in the world. They have only played nine, ten and eleven games for their clubs and none for their countries.
The IFFHS said that the world’s cheapest football team was meant to be a joke and not a serious evaluation of the players’ abilities. It also said that the team would have no chance against any professional or amateur team, let alone against the most valuable players in the world, who have a total value of over €2 billion.
