The World Cup is over, and we have winners and losers from the tournament. Several African teams participated in the tournament and gave the European teams a run for their money. They proved to be formidable competitors rather than just another walkover. Even though an African team didn’t win the world cup, they demonstrated their strength and skills on the field.

The teams are back home, and their attention has turned to the new power rankings and the qualifying matches for the next tournament.

Here are some of the highly-ranked African football teams after the conclusion of the World Cup:

Morocco

The Atlas Lions represented Morocco in the world cup tournament. They made history at the Qatar world cup by becoming the first African team to reach the semi-finals. The Moroccan squad boasts a star-studded line-up that features the likes of Anchraf Hakimi of PSG and Hakim Ziyech of Chelsea. While France ultimately defeated them in the semi-finals, Morocco remains the top-ranked African team in the power rankings.

Senegal

The Senegalese national team, known as the Lions of Teranga, is currently ranked second among African teams in the power rankings. They earned this position by winning the AFCON tournament and defeating Egypt in the final. Despite missing their star player Sadio Mane, the Lions of Teranga put on a strong performance at the world cup. However, England ultimately eliminated them in the knockout stages after suffering a 3-0 defeat. Despite this defeat, Senegal proved to be a challenge for the Three Lions, who most consider a powerhouse in football.

Tunisia

The Eagles of Carthage represent Tunisia in the men’s national football team. They had a good world cup run and had a strong showing despite being eliminated in the group stages. They made headlines with their 1-0 victory over France in the final match of group D. Tunisia also holds the record for the most consecutive AFCON appearances. Following their performance at the world cup, they are currently ranked third in the power rankings and are expected to continue improving as they strive for the top spot.

Cameroon

Cameroon men’s national football team, known as the Indomitable Lions, had a strong performance at the World Cup. They defeated the football powerhouse, Brazil, with a score of 1-0 and took part in a 6-goal thriller against Serbia, ending with a 3-3 scoreline. Although they did not qualify for the knockout stages, they still managed to impress. In the AFCON tournament, Cameroon took third place and is currently ranked fourth in the African teams’ power ranking.

Egypt

Although they did not qualify for the World Cup, Egypt’s National Football team is still highly regarded as one of the top African teams. They made it to the finals of the 2022 AFCON but were unfortunately defeated by Senegal. They also suffered a defeat in the World Cup qualifying playoffs. Despite these setbacks, the Pharaohs is a star-studded team that is highly ranked despite their recent upsets in performance.

In Summation
