Current Team
(World Cup 23)
Manager:
Munir At-Tariq - age 53.
An offensive-minded coach looking to nurture the attacking mentality of his players. Likes to play an attacking 4-4-2 or 5-3-2 system, using the left and right-backs to set up counter-attacks.
Goalkeepers:
1. Ricardo DiTorino - Akani Sands, age 19, 14 caps.
Has just enjoyed the best season of his career. He has recently forced his way into the first team, having just won the league championship with Akani Sands and being nominated for Player of the Year.
2. Amir Bettison - Gabalfa Rovers, age 32, 45 caps.
Bettia's long-time first choice goalie. However, competition is hotting up and he is no longer the automatic first-choice goalie after picking up an injury in the last world cup qualifying campaign.
3. Robert Sole - Lorshill United, age 22, 0 caps.
An ever-present in Lorshill's cup winning team of 2001 but has yet to make his international debut. His 6'4" frame allows him to easily deal with high crosses and set pieces.
Defence:
4. Gwynoro Tyrno'r - Sukatra Tigers, age 19, 0 caps.
A tough tackler with international U21 experience, his undoubted defensive skills helped his team to their best ever league finish and earned him the runner-up spot in the Young Player of the Year awards.
5. Musa Williams - Gabalfa Rovers, age 27, 32 caps.
An ever-present for Bettia last season, Williams is grown into one of the highest-rated defenders in the country. Has a slight problem with timing his tackles, which can result in a few injuries (for the opposition) and a red card or two.
6. Wasim Morgan - Ceffinton Town, age 23, 16 caps.
A versatile utility man who can play in the centre, right or left of defence. A lynchpin in Town's impressive squad which finished fifth in the league, surpassing all expectations.
7. Geraint Carew - Vimesbairn Athletic (Cockbill Street), age 26, 39 caps.
A speedy right-sided defender who can also play on the right-wing, noted for his ability to set up swift counter-attacks. His first season in Cockbill Street wasn't entirely sucessful, although he made a good impression helping them to the cup semi-finals. He has also developed into a dependable penalty-taker.
8. Ian Redpath - Akani Sands, age 26, 0 caps.
The captain of the league champs, his sparkling form has won him his first callup for the national team - somewhat belatedly, some critics say. A solid dependable defender with a no-nonsense approach to the game.
9. Michael Ryder - Gabalfa City, age 27, 28 caps.
An experienced tough-tackling centre-back who can also play on the left or right when needed. Another no-nonsense player who adds grit and determination to the back line.
10. Jonathon McKinnon - Ceffinton Town, age 20, 10 caps.
Former captain of the Bettia Under-21 squad, his performances have started to see him come into the reckoning for a regular place in the international squad. A bright prospect for the future.
11. Amir Bin Da'ud - Gabalfa Rovers, age 28, 32 caps.
A solid, dependable defender famed for his long throw-ins and probing counter-attacks. Has greatly improved over the last year or so and has made the left back position his own.
12. Gareth Coates (captain) - Grappenhall United, age 25, 28 caps, 1 goal.
A towering physical presence in the centre of defence, his height comes in handy in attacking set-pieces as well as defensive. Has recently been named captain after Amir Bettison's injury.
Midfield:
13. John Connick - Tallahassee Blues (Bedistan), age 29, 34 caps.
Has come into his own as the playmaker of the team, playing deep in central midfield from which he sets up his forwards. Had a good season in the Bedistan Football League where he was named Foreign Midfielder of the Year.
14. Badr Warlow - Gabalfa City, age 21, 0 caps.
An energetic young midfielder with experience at U21 level. Had a truly excellent season which saw him win the Player of the Year award. Like his local rival Evan Brooks, Warlow is deadly at set pieces.
15. Aaron Brown - Emcorn, age 22, 28 caps, 2 goals.
A quick little player who has proven to be adept at floating in long crosses from the right-hand side.
16. Jason Abdullah - Butetown Dragons, age 19, 11 caps.
Very pacy young left-sided midfielder known for his hot-headed disposition.
17. Omar Whistler - Maindy Wanderers, age 24, 27 caps, 11 goals.
A stylish midfielder known for his efficient style and deft touches. He has also proven to be a cool-headed penalty-taker.
18. Evan Brooks - Gabalfa Rovers, age 27, 46 caps, 13 goals.
The 'Golden Boy' of Bettian football, Brooks is well-known for his prowess from set-pieces and stinging long-range shots.
19. Ieaun Swain - Grappenhall United, age 22, 7 caps, 2 goals.
Enjoyed an excellent season, providing a bright spark in an otherwise mediocre campaign for the Warriors.
Forwards:
20. Latif Hunter - Sukatra Tigers, age 19, 0 caps.
Rising young star who set the league on fire, winning the Young Player of the Year award and the Golden Boot for his 24-goal haul.
21. Chris Hutton - Marine Coast United (Vilita), age 18, 15 caps, 3 goals.
A precocious young talent who is looking to make a name for himself in the V-League. Famed (or feared) for his tenacious hassling of opposition defenders.
22. Bobbie Rosenstiehl - Downton, age 23, 11 caps, 4 goals.
A pacy striker with plenty of flair who enjoyed an excellent season, netting 19 goals for the Bulldozers.
23. John Harding - Akani Sands, age 28, 20 caps, 15 goals.
A lanky centre-forward whose early career has been hampered by injuries, but has recently seen his prospects improve after winning the league title with Akani Sands, netting 19 goals in the process. A deadly header of the ball.
24. Gethin Ward - Gabalfa Rovers, age 29, 21 caps, 14 goals.
Ward returned to top form this season, showing the Bettian fans and media what a deadly striker he really is, finishing just one goal short of the Golden Boot and nominated for the Player of the Year.
25. Judson York - Pylos Reavers (Hypocria), age 25, 13 caps, 14 goals
The first black player to pull on the green-and-yellow shirt. His lightning-quick pace was virtually unmatched in the Bettian league despite his team getting relegated, and he will be looking to repeat those performances in the Hypocrian league. Is equally at home in the centre or on either side of the pitch.
Mascot:
26. Tiddles - age 6, 3 caps, 1 victim
Bettia's beloved lucky arora who now leads the team out at the beginning of every match accompanied by a special guest handler. She grabbed national headlines when she scuttled onto the pitch during Bettia's Cup of Harmony match against the Liamist States and bit the ankles of their star player. Initially, the FAB decided to hand out a touchline ban, but after an outcry from the Bettian media and fans, this decision was overturned and she is now a regular fixture. Normally cute and docile (if aroras ever can be described as cute), but can get the red mist at the drop of a hat. The Bettian fans will hope she helps to bite a chunk out of their opponents chances of qualifying ahead of them.
