    R/soccer has a map (actually, they have several).

    I like this one

    https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/birthplaces-of-every-2026-fifa-world-cup-player_1416504#2/-14.661540/-0.761719


    Tunisia might be the most diverse, with players born
    in Saudi-Arabia, Alberta, Troms|+, and R|-union.
    Obed Vargas from Alaska is kind of funny, too.

    Also, from the map it looks like that the only three
    countries with both no players on the squad born
    abroad, and no players born in the country
    representing a different NT, are the Czech Republic,
    Panama, and South Africa.


    Ciao,
    Werner
