Can Morocco, Ghana or Senegal Surpass Nigeria’s World Cup Wins and Goals Record in 2026?

Morocco, Ghana and Senegal head into the 2026 FIFA World Cup eyeing a long-standing African record held by Nigeria’s Super Eagles. Since their debut in 1994, Nigeria have won six matches and scored 23 goals across all tournaments. The Atlas Lions, Black Stars and Teranga Lions each have five World Cup victories to their name. A couple of wins this summer would see them overtake Nigeria’s six-win mark. They’re also chasing Nigeria’s 23-goal tally, but only Morocco—three goals shy—look likely to break the goals record. All three sides face tough groups: Morocco meet Brazil, Scotland and Haiti; Senegal tackle France, Norway and Iraq; Ghana face England, Croatia and Panama. Yet each nation has history on its side, having already reached at least the quarter-finals in past tournaments.
