Today football is big business but plenty of the modern gamesĀ global giants came from inauspicious roots, built up from teams of workers and going on to title glory at the highest level. FIFA.com looks at where some of those sides began.

Arsenal winger Ryo Miyaichi has been included in Alberto Zaccheronis 25-man squad for Japans three FIFA World Cup qualifying matches next month.

All three Saudi Arabia representatives progressed to the AFC Champions League quarter-finals, along with Iran champions Sepahan, as memories of a disappointing 2011 campaign for the Kingdom were emphatically cast aside.

Takashi Usami has been loaned out to Hoffenheim for next season, with Bayern Munich releasing the on-loan Gamba Osaka midfielder.

Shinji Kagawa and Shinji Okazaki were on target as Japan prepared for their FIFA World Cup qualifiers next month with a 2-0 victory over Azerbaijan in their international friendly.
