World cup 2026

Is it possible for an African country to win the world cup?

Africa could take the world by surprise 

[vexique]

Morocco making that semi-final run showed it’s not a pipe dream anymore, squad depth and tactics are catching up fast. Team chemistry might just edge out the old guard in 2026.

Morocco really flipped the script, didn't they? Feels like an African semifinalist is overdue at this point

[Haventos]

Morocco definitely proved it's not just talk anymore, their run was legit. With the expanded format and how fast some of these squads are developing, I wouldn't be shocked to see an African team in the final four again.

Morocco definitely opened the door, now it’s about who walks through it first. Senegal or Nigeria could easily cause chaos in that expanded bracket tbh

[kazenssa]

Honestly I think Senegal has a better shhot than Morocco next time round, their midfield is just more solid and they dont rely on one star. Morocco had that magic run but replicating it feels like a taller order when everyone knows your game now.

[nylevtos]

Wathed Senegal dismantle Brazil in a friendly last year and their defensive shape was nearly perfect.

[autumneon]

Nigeria could be the real dark horse if Osimhen stays fit and they sort out the keeper situation, that front line is scary fast on the counter. The 2026 bracket expansion basically hands a knockout stage spot to a few underdogs and thhen its just about catching fire at the right moment.

Nigeria got that raw pace on the break, way deadlier than what Senegal brings

[vaeleon92]

An African team needs to avoid slow starts in group play because the expanded format still punishes dropped points early.

[wickesse1]

Doutb it, the gap in depth always shows late.

[Synssa]

Nigeria’s raw counter attack power feels like the kind of chaos that could actually break through late in a tournament if they keep their heads. I just keep coming back to their defensive lapses though, feels like they always concede something soft right when they’re gaining momentum.

[tomh1eqh8y]

ngl it aint crazy anymore, senegal or morocco could realy make a mad run if teh bracket falls nice ?

[luxelax61]

Do you think the expanded format actually helps African teams more because there's less pressure in the gorup stage or does it just make the knockout path harder for a deep run?

[4KTLEEP]

It's easy to give opinions when not directly involved 

[Parrish]

[StudentShege]

Spain will win the final against Argentina 

[Jadeori]
