All 46 Teams

The Indomitable Lions! Roger Milla danced around the corner flag at age 38 in 1990. Cameroon reached the QF as the first African team to do so.

DRC (formerly Zaire) are back! Zaire were the first sub-Saharan African team at the WC in 1974. Cédric Bakambu and Boulaye Dia lead the modern revival.

The Pharaohs! Egypt holds the record for most Africa Cup of Nations wins (7). Mo Salah leads them on the grandest stage.

The Black Stars were seconds from a WC semi-final in 2010 before Uruguay's Luis Suárez blocked a goal-bound header with his hand, and Asamoah Gyan missed the resulting penalty.

The Lions of Atlas made history in 2022 — the first African and Arab nation to reach a World Cup semi-final. They beat Spain and Portugal en route.

The Super Eagles arrive at every World Cup with explosive talent. Jay-Jay Okocha, Kanu, and now Victor Osimhen — Nigeria never stops producing stars.

Exploded onto the World Cup scene in 2002, beating reigning champions France in the opener. Reached the quarter-finals on debut.

South Africa hosted the 2010 World Cup — the first African nation to do so. Siphiwe Tshabalala's opening goal of that tournament was pure magic.

Tunisia were the first African team to win a World Cup match — beating Mexico 3-1 in 1978. A proud footballing nation with consistent qualification.
