JAKARTA Qatar's 2022 World Cup will roll this weekend. Five goalkeeper candidates are included in favorites to win the Golden Hand (Golden Glove) in the most grand tournament.

The winner of the Golden Hand is usually in the four-year event winner team. Goalkeepers in modern football are arguably as important as attackers, especially for the do-or-die situation that existed during the knockout stages.

Three of the last five Golden Glove winners also won the World Cup trophy. The exceptions are Oliver kabal (Germany, 2002) and Thibaut Courtois (Belgium, 2018).

Bribe is the only player to ever win a Golden Hand and Golden Ball (best player) in the same World Cup edition. He made five surprising clean sheets in 2002, which other goalkeepers have never achieved since then.

The upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be followed by several top goalkeepers guarding their place under the crossbar. To that end, here are five favorite goalkeepers to win the Golden Hand.

France entered this year's edition of the World Cup as a defending champion and one of their favorites. They came with Lloris who had just returned from an injury that kept him out for several weeks.

However, he is one of the best goalkeepers despite the possibility of keeping the sheet clean. However, his place under the crossbar could take France even further in the tournament or could keep the title.

There will be tremendous pressure on any player who plays alongside Lionel Messi in Argentina during Qatar's upcoming World Cup, not to mention Martinez who has been Los Albiceleste's first-choice goalkeeper in the last two years.

Together with Cristian Romero and Leandro Martinez in defense, Emi Martinez will be convinced of his chances of winning the gold hand that was so coveted for the first time in his career.

Neuer is one of the regular customers on a list made like this as he has been the main goalkeeper for Germany's dominant national team for more than a decade.

He is one of two players on this list who has won the Golden Hand Hand. The award he won when he led Germany to win the World Cup in 2014 in Brazil.

Neuer and the German national team are among the favorites in this tournament. Given that he is now 36 years old he is expected to start every game because this is arguably his last appearance in the competition.

The Real Madrid goalkeeper is the winner of the Golden Prize after he was awarded the award in Russia 2018 even though Belgium did not win the tournament.

At that time Courtois made three clean sheets on his way to winning the Golden Hand while Belgium finished third. This year he is ranked second in favorite goalkeepers by many websites, including The Telegraph.

Becker is the first favorite because he came with Brazil who became one of the seeds in Qatar. The team nicknamed Samba has so far been champions to lift their sixth World Cup next month.

If that happens then Alisson automatically becomes a favorite to get the Golden Glove considering he is their main goalkeeper.

In its history, goalkeepers from Europe have always won this prestigious award in every edition since the 1994 World Cup. Therefore, Alisson has a big chance of breaking that record.
