World Cup 2026: Can Any African Side Top Morocco’s 2022 Run?

Africa will be well represented at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, with ten teams aiming to make their mark. Morocco and Senegal lead the pack in the eyes of bookmakers after Morocco’s historic semi-final in Qatar and Senegal’s strong recent performances. Both will target at least a quarter-final berth. Ivory Coast’s youthful attack offers an X-factor, though they face stiff tests alongside Egypt, Algeria and Ghana in reaching the knockout stage. Newcomers South Africa, Cape Verde and DR Congo all bring fresh enthusiasm. They may surprise opponents but will likely battle for progression beyond the opening round.
