Which sub-Saharan Africa sides have best World Cup chance? Senegal, Ghana?
After Morocco became the first Africans to reach a World Cup semifinal in 2022, can a sub-Saharan side step up in 2026?
AI Summary
Senegal enters the 2026 World Cup as sub-Saharan Africa’s best hope to match or surpass Morocco’s 2022 semifinal run, fueled by a deep squad and star Sadio Mané. The Lions of Teranga carry a sense of injustice after being stripped of the Africa Cup of Nations title, which was awarded to Morocco. With their best World Cup finish being the quarterfinals in 2002, expectations are high that they can outshine North African rivals.
