2026 World Cup: Like Issa Diop, Wahi, and Khedira, these 7 players said yes to a selection just before a World Cup

Issa Diop, Kevin-Prince Boateng, and Elye Wahi have recently switched national teams ahead of the 2026 World Cup, joining teams they had previously declined. Kevin-Prince Boateng, after representing Germany at youth level, eventually played for Ghana in 2010, while Elye Wahi and other dual nationals have answered the call of their countries of origin. This phenomenon, although more common in Africa, also affects other continents, as evidenced by Wilson Isidor's arrival with Haiti.
