(5 wins) and (2 wins) won all the FIFA World Cup played and still are favourits. reached the podium in last 3 editions (2nd in 2004 and 3rd 2008 and 2012) and podium is again the target. Other nations to see: ; ; (defeat Italy in QF at Euro 2016 and finish 3rd) and the host of Yes, there is ranking but not at FIFA site (the "futsal world" is separated between Fifa and AMF, Association Mundial de Futsal) http://www.futsalworldranking.be/rank.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, isn't Italy that also has around 7 or 8 brazilian players? Is this a common thing in futsal?

Players can transfer themselves from one national team to another like they are playing for clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are the players already living there or are they just "transfered" to the nation? I mean, this teams like Italy or Kazakhstan whose squads are majority foreigners, are they just taking advantage of some foreigners that already lived there, or are they "mercenaries"? (like Qatar Handball team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(like Qatar Handball team) It's not fair to me either, but same rule applies on olympic sports like handball or water polo... Well that's true, most of their foreigners are living and playing in the country they represent on national level, they are actually quite similar to Qatar handball team which have only one player playing outside Qatar (although almost no one was born there).
