Including French, logically the best represented in France's top flight, no fewer than 70 different sporting nationalities are present this season in our championship. Africa, which has historically provided oodles of talent for Ligue 1 Uber Eats clubs, is particularly well represented, while there is - as usual - a healthy colony of Brazilians plying their trade in France in the 2021-22 season. Senegal in front, Brazil not far behind African countries are indeed well represented this season in Ligue 1 Uber Eats. With Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Algeria, Cameroon and Morocco, Africa boasts six countries into the Top 10 of the best-represented nations. Senegal takes first place with 26 players, Mali takes third place (16 players), ahead of Côte d'Ivoire, fourth (15 players). Only one nation managed to limit this domination: Brazil.

OL's Brazilians, Metz's Senegalese With 15 different nationalities, Olympique de Marseille and Clermont Foot have the most diverse squads after LOSC. Behind their strong contingent of French players (18), OM can rely on their Brazilian (three players) and Spanish (3 players) communities, reinforced respectively this summer by Gerson and Luan Peres, as well as Pau Lopez, and Pol Lirola. In terms of Brazilian colonies, Olympique Lyonnais dominate the competition with five Brazilians in their ranks. Marcelo, Henrique, Thiago Mendes, Bruno Guimaraes and Lucas Paqueta all ply their trade for the Rhône valley club.
