Mondial-2026 : Neuf sélections africaines en seizièmes de finale, une première historique
Africa has achieved a remarkable performance at the 2026 World Cup. Of the ten nations participating in this first 48-team edition of the tournament, nine have managed to advance past the group stage and secure their place in the round of 32. Only Tunisia failed to progress further.
This massive presence confirms the rise of African football on the international stage. Several teams secured their place by finishing second in their groups, including South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Ivory Coast, and Cape Verde.
Ghana, Senegal, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Algeria took advantage of the new competition format by rising to become some of the best third-placed teams.
With nine teams still in contention, the African continent enters the round of 32 with high ambitions and the hope of seeing several of its representatives continue their journey in this 2026 World Cup.
Here are the African teams that have qualified.
South Africa (2nd in Group A)
Morocco (2nd in Group C)
Ivory Coast (2nd in Group E)
Egypt (2nd in Group G)
