How the nine former Sunderland players at the 2022 Qatar World Cup fared: Photo gallery

The Qatar World Cup 2022 is coming to an end after four weeks of football.

France and Argentina will face-off to see who will be crowned champions on Sunday afternoon. Both teams bounced back from disappointing group stage defeats to reach the final.

The final will be the 64th game of the tournament – one that started with hosts Qatar losing 2-0 against Ecuador on Sunday, November 20.

Sunderland had two representatives at the tournament with Jewison Bennette and Bailey Wright representing Costa Rica and Australia respectively.

Bennette’s side fell at the group stage, despite beating Japan and giving Germany a scare in their final group game. Australia, however, did progress from their group but were defeated by eventual finalists Argentina in the Round of 16.

Adding to Bennette and Wright’s participation were nine former Sunderland players that also featured at the tournament. Here, we take a look at how every former Black Cat fared at the 2022 Qatar World Cup:
