Super Eagles rated 19th Richest Team

The Super Eagles of Nigeria has been valued
at £47m and in 19th place of the 32 teams
participating at the World Cup in Brazil.
Other African countries are: Ivory Coast in
17th place and valued at £59.7m are the top
African team, with the Cameroonian squad
valued at £42.9m in 20th place, Ghana at
£35m in 22nd place and Algeria, valued at
£13.4m in 28th place.
The ratings were based on the last transfers of
each of the 736 players travelling to Brazil,
and here’s how the numbers stack up.
Perhaps unsurprisingly with Paris Saint-
Germain recently agreeing a £50m fee for
defender David Luiz, hosts Brazil top the list,
with their squad totalling a staggering £407m.
Current World Cup holders Spain come in
second, with their 23-man squad totalling
£315.2m, including the likes of Torres
(£50m), Juan Mata (£37m) and David Silva
(£23m).
England’s squad adds up to £179.6m, behind
Belgium, Portugal, Argentina and France, but
just ahead of Germany.
At the other end of the scale are the likes of
Honduras, Australia and Iran.
Their lowly positions in the chart could be
down to players staying with their boyhood
clubs, leaving on free transfers or being
involved in swap deals.
