17,000 migrants changing football landscape
The study clarifies that the migration of football players from their home countries abroad primarily overlooks continents and is concentrated in three main regions: Europe, West Africa, and South America. Europe, especially France, serves as the largest hub for the production and export of players, with over 1,200 migrant players. It is followed by the Sahel countries of West Africa, with Nigeria leading in numbers. South America, meanwhile, is led by Brazil and Argentina, each with more than 1,100 migrant players. Asia appears more limited in this phenomenon, mainly exporting players from Japan, Australia, and South Korea, despite its large population. The patterns of player dispersion vary: Brazilians tend to be widespread globally, while French players mostly remain within Europe, and Argentinians tend to stay within South America. This reflects that factors such as talent development systems and football culture influence the export of players more significantly than population size.
