World Cup mobilization: Bringing 2 lines of blood, pride and the honor of contribution

    They are players with two different blood lines and two different natures, but instead of being loyal to a team, they choose to fulfill their obligations to their homeland.

    1. Ghoddos - representing both Sweden and Iran

    Ghoddos is a star of Östersunds FK. When Swedish manager Janne Andersson called Ghoddos in early 2017, he had his first taste of international football in the friendlies against the Ivorian Sea and Slovakia.

    Ghoddos admitted that his view at the time was that his loyalty was divided. He said: "The choice is 50:50, this is a really difficult question because the problem is deeper than that. I love both countries and I believe that I can represent both countries."

    2. Wilfried Zaha: No regrets at all

    Born in the city of Abidjan in Ivoria, Zaha started playing football in 1997 (when he was 4 years old) with his brothers and sisters.

    In 2012, Zaha had to admit that his loyalty was divided, he said: "I was born on the Ivory Coast but all I know is England. Therefore, in the coming time, I will choose".

    But that choice seems to be the England team, because Zaha is playing for the England U21 team and he has also taken on the responsibility of captain of the England team in two friendly matches.

    Zaha said: "The world is changing, everything is changing and I want to serve the country that needs me."

    3. Vincent Kompany: 100% Belgian, 100% Congo

    Belgium captain Vincent Kompany is proud that at the 2018 World Cup, he will represent the Democratic Republic of Congo.

    "I am proud of what I have done. I feel that I have 100% Belgium and 100% Congo. I did well for the Belgian national team and if I can do well in Congo, I hope that the people of Congo will also feel proud of what I have done for their homeland".

    The Manchester City defender was born into a family with a Congoese father and a Belgian mother, so he believes it is a privilege for him to represent both countries.
