The youngest players at World Cup 2014

There aren't many teenagers playing in this year's World Cup. Of the 736 players who make up the 32 squads at the 2014 tournament, only nine are younger than 20.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid have young players hoping to make a major impact on the global stage at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Read the ten wonder kids in this year's tournament.

Fabrice Olinga(Cameroon)

 

Cameroon's Fabrice Olinga is the youngest player in the tournament. The forward turned 18 on May 12.

Raheem Sterling (England)

Raheem Sterling, 19, is a midfielder and the second-youngest member of England's national team. He has represented England in several junior tournaments.  Raheem Sterling has re-emerged in quite some fashion after being removed from the firing line by Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers for much of a tricky 2013.
Upon receiving his first Premier League start of the season in December though, the 19 year-old Sterling has not looked back, and started England’s last international fixture against Denmark.
With six goals and three assists already this season, Sterling has swiftly developed into one of the most exciting young players in the Premier League – and a man who could prove quite the wildcard for Roy Hodgson’s England.

Raphael Varane (France)

Raphael Varane is just 19 years of age, but only injury troubles have prevented him from adding to his five caps.

The imperious centre half has already made 60 appearances for Real Madrid, claiming La Liga title in 2011-12m and having helped his team win two and draw one of the last four El Clasico matches against FC Barcelona.
When fit, there is probably no better young defender in the game.

Adnan Januzaj (Belgium)

Born in Brussels, 19-year-old Adnan Januzaj will represent Belgium this year in Brazil.

Divock Origi(Belgium)

Also playing for Belgium is Divock Origi, who turned 19 in April this year.

Luke Shaw (England)

Luke Shaw of Southampton FC is the youngest player on England's squad. He'll turn 19 on July 12, the same weekend as the World Cup final.

Jose Maria Gimenez (Uruguay)

Uruguay's Jose Maria Gimenez is a 19-year-old defender who plays for Atlético Madrid in La Liga. Uruguay will face Costa Rica, England and Italy in Group D of the 2014 World Cup.

Nabil Bentaleb (Algeria)

Nineteen-year-old Nabil Bentaleb is the youngest player on the Algerian national team. He's signed with the Tottenham Hotspurs until 2018.

Julian Green (U.S.A.)

U.S. midfielder Julian Green is a 19-year-old born in Tampa, Florida who plays for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

Carlos Gruezo (Ecuador)
