Aside from David Beckham, these hotties are sure to make an appearance, be it on the field or in the crowd…

CRISTIANO RONALDO
Country: Portugal
Position: Forward
This talented 25-year-old became the most expensive player of all time when he signed for Real Madrid for a staggering R960 million. He’s allegedly earning R108 million a year playing for the Spanish club. We know one WAG who’ll be fighting tooth and nail to avoid signing a prenup…

FABIO CANNAVARO
Country: Italy
Position: Defender
At 36, Fabio is Italy’s most capped player of all time. He was also voted ‘sexiest player’ at the 2006 Fifa World Cup. Who could possibly disagree with that?

RÓBSON DE SOUZA, AKA ROBINHO
Country: Brazil
Position: Winger
The 26-year-old phenomenon is often compared to the legendary soccer king, Pelé. He recently married his sweetheart of 11 years Vivian Guglielmetti, with whom he has a son. For staying true to his first love despite his fame and fortune, Robinho gets the thumbs-up from us.

FRANK LAMPARD
Country: England
Position: Midfielder
With his sex tape allegations behind him, Chelsea’s 2008/09 Player of the Year just seems to get better and better with age. And we’re not only talking about his, um, scoring abilities.

THIERRY HENRY
Country: France
Position: Striker
After playing for English side Arsenal since 1999 where he became the club’s best goal scorer, Thierry made a move to Spanish side Barcelona in 2007. He married English model Claire Merry in 2003 but they divorced four years later. Mmm, sexy and single…

CESC FABREGAS
Country: Spain
Position: Midfielder
The 23-year-old is captain of English Premier League club Arsenal. He made his debut for The Gunners at the tender age of 16. With his looks we don’t need to explain why he deserves to be on this hottie list.

DIDIER DROGBA
Country: Ivory Coast
Position: Striker
We love that Didier remembers his roots. In 2007 he announced that he’d be donating R36 million to the construction of a hospital in his hometown of Abidjan. He commented, ‘I decided the foundation’s first project should be to build and fund a hospital giving people basic healthcare and a chance just to stay alive.’ Awww.

AARON MOKOENA
Country: South Africa
Position: Defender
At the age of 18, the Bafana Bafana star was the youngest player to ever represent the country, proving himself a worthy successor to Lucas Radebe. For being our captain and shouldering our enormous expectations, Aaron gets five stars from us.
