Group A - QATAR🇶🇦
Right, not an ideal nation to be handed first when putting together a light-hearted bit of nonsense, but here we go..
Former Wednesday winger Richie Partridge is the Qatar physio.

ECUADOR🇪🇨
Who can forget the seminal performances against Wednesday by legendary Watford Ecuadorian Juan Carlos Paredes in the 14/15 season?
His assist for Matej Vydra in their 3-0 win at Hillsborough? Life-changing scenes. Viva Ecuador.

Overlook the fact Lee Gregory was so cruelly left out of the squad. It's coming home.

WALES🏴
England's neighbours - isn't it nice to get along?
Wednesday have a superior record against both Cardiff (W28 D18 L27) and Swansea (W13 D13 L9), which is hospitable stuff.
See also: Lloyd Isgrove, Barry Horne and May 25 2005.

GROUP C - ARGENTINA🇦🇷
Push aside the years of intense footballing rivalry and focus on the fact a former Wednesday player looks set to play a big part for the Argentines - goalkeeper Emi Martinez played 15 times for the Owls in the 2013/14 season.

SAUDI ARABIA🇸🇦
Saudi Arabia manager Hervé Renard used to coach Cambridge United. In August 2004 League Two clash they lost 1-0 to a Swansea City side including former Owls manager Garry Monk.
They may have shaken hands.

POLAND🇵🇱
April 26 2008. Penultimate day of the season. Leicester v Wednesday in a Championship relegation tet-a-tet. Owls concede early and miss a pen. Enter Bartosz Ślusarski, who equalises and inspires a 3-1 win. They beat Norwich 4-1 on the last day and finish 16th.

DENMARK🇩🇰
There's a special bond between Sheffield Wednesday and Danish football; and not just thanks to the service of Kim Olsen.
Danes flooded the city during Euro 96 and made a glowing impression on Hillsborough, which also hosted Portugal, Turkey and Croatia.

TUNISIA🇹🇳
Tunisia midfielder Anis Slimane plays for Danish giants Brøndby, which sounds a bit like the surname of former Wednesday defender Leigh Bromby.

Reyto that's the first four groups done - will finish this off with the other four groups later int week because frankly I've got work to do and it took me nearly 40 minutes to find a link with Saudi Arabia.. which let's be fair I didn't.
