The 2018 World Cup is underway!

The World Cup comes around once every four years. Countries from all around the globe compete against one another to prove which team is the greatest soccer club in the world. The physique required is less about muscle and more about endurance. But that doesn’t mean that the players competing in the World Cup aren’t in tremendous condition.

A soccer player must strike that perfect balance between endurance and explosiveness. That means fast twitch muscle, which means having a decent amount of musculature to get the job done.

Just like in bodybuilding, no one soccer player has the same genetics. But there are those out there that have some pretty muscular physiques despite their chosen sport. Take a look at this list of some of the most muscular and fit soccer players in the sport today.

Will you be tuning in to watch the 2018 World Cup?
