Mohamed Salah, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and More- Huge Soccer Stars That Will Miss Out on the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar
Follow Us
The World Cup is just around the corner as the prestigious competition returns in 2022. This edition of the tournament is going to be held in Qatar in December, but several big stars like Mohamed Salah will not be there.
Salah has been in the form of his life as he has been one of the best players in the world for Liverpool. However, things haven’t been the same for Egypt as the winger missed his penalty against Senegal in their qualifiers match. It was eerily similar to his penalty miss in the final of the AFCON tournament, which Senegal won on penalties.
It all ended in heartbreak for him and the fans in Egypt, but he isn’t the only one to miss out on the greatest stage in International football.

They were facing North Macedonia in a play-off match but lost after a late winner from the underdogs. As a result, several Italian stars like Jorginho, Gianluigi Donnarumma, and Federico Chiesa are set to miss out on the tournament.

Other superstars who won’t be seen in Qatar
A few players like FC Barcelona star, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, have never played in the World Cup. His country, Gabon, has never qualified for the competition in their entire history and has a comparatively weaker team.
Other big misses would be the Swedish national team and their enigmatic superstar, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Norway, another European country, will also be missing out on the competition. As a result, fans will have to wait four more years to see Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard in the World Cup.
