For the first time in 24 years, African nations scored more points during a World Cup competition.

Africa has five countries participating in the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Ghana, Cameroon, Morocco, Tunisia, and Senegal are among the nations.

Unlike the 2018 FIFA World Cup when no African country advanced to the Round 16 stage, two countries in this year’s tournament progressed from the group stage.

While Ghana, Cameroon, and Tunisia would go home, Morocco and Senegal advanced to the last 16 stage.

The success means Africa now has done better at this year’s mundial than the 2018 tournament.

Meanwhile, the 24 points accrued by African countries at this year’s tournament is the best to be ever picked by African reps since 1998.

At that tournament, the African representatives only picked 15 points.

Unfortunately, it appears Africa may not have a rep in the quarter-final stage.

Senegal are already out after losing to England. Today, Morocco will face off with Spain in hopes of winning to advance to the last 8 stage.
