How do sports commentators remember everyone’s names?

Do they have to do a tonne of research on each player before the game and how do they recognise players from lesser known nations?

Not only do they have a ton of research ….

But they have an entire STAFF of people whose job it is to DO the research, summarize it, find the important parts, and print it out in an easy-to-read fashion.

Commentators aren’t idiots, they are very knowledgeable, but there’s tons of research behind the scenes, done by an army of people. And just like a nice powerpoint presentation, the research team has boiled down all that information into notes that are packed with information, but easy to read and comprehend.

The commentators have those notes in front of them.

I’m sure there are also experts who specialize in ONE TEAM only. An expert like that might feed information into the ear of the commentator.
