While they may yet be friendly games, these games are being used by different managers for many different reasons.

Asides being used to keep their teams in shape, different football federations also use these friendlies to test the strength of their teams and also use it to gauge the readiness of the squad.

One other tactical reason for these friendlies is for teams to test themselves again teams that either play like their future opponents at the World Cup or come from the same continent and play the same style of football.

  1. Squad lists, player omissions and inclusions

With kick-off drawing ever closer, FIFA has demanded that all teams submit their final squad that will be taking part in the competition.

In the leading up to this one, team managers have selected provisional squad lists containing players who may and may not play at the World Cup.

But the beginning of the competition is only 11 days away. There’s only room for the 23-man squad that will represent each nation. There have already been some notable inclusions and exemptions.

But 23 is the limit: No more, no less.
