The 2018 World Cup may be a football tournament but, for some, it transcends beyond just kicking a ball and ultimately crowning a winner.
As a result, the media especially, looks to cover almost every angle of the tournament for their ever-demanding viewers, listeners and readers.
The most talked-about areas of the tournament will undoubtedly be Russia’s surprising reception, the race for the top scorer award, the golden ball winner and the favourites for the ultimate trophy.
However, on the fun side it wouldn’t be bad at all to flash on the hottest black players who are playing in this year’s World Cup, will it?

We take a look at 10 of the hottest black players to have played in the 2018 World Cup.
