Brazil 2014 : Visualising ancestral and

international connections between teams

This is an attempt to map ancestral (parent, grandparent) and international (born abroad and dual citizenship) connections at the 2014 World Cup. Of all 32 teams, each team has at least one connection to another country with the exception of Ecuador, Honduras and South Korea.

Connections are calculated by each player with a connection to another country — and the total number of countries they are connected too.
