3 Teams African Football Fans Believe Will Shine In Qatar 2022

For many time now, the idea of seeing an African national football team shine in football’s biggest stage of all, the FIFA World Cup Tournament, has been nothing more than a wild dream.

Just how internet gambling fans always fantasize about the day their big online casino payday might come, with African nations, especially when it comes to football, the day of finally seeing one of their top teams put the rest of the football world on notice is achievable but still feels far away from fruition.

As the Qatar 2022 World Cup Tournament approaches some of Africa’s best national teams have wasted no time in making their claims felt as potential contenders for big runs in regards of the tournament’s most important stages.

With dominating performances left and right, we bring you our picks for the three best African teams who have shown that they will clearly shine in the upcoming FIFA World Cup tournament in Qatar in 2022.

If there’s one team in Africa that can boast about being the most dominant football force in the continent actually, it’s Algeria.

Given that they’re the defending CAF Nations Tournament Champions and that their ravishing pace through the initial Qatar 2022 qualifying stages, hosting a perfect, unbeaten streak, one that has put the whole continent of Africa on notice of exactly what this team can do when fully in synch, it feels only right to think that once Algeria qualifies for the Qatar 2022 tournament, all other world opponents should seriously put an eye on this team.

Algeria has shown great levels of skill, strength and above all, a sheer dominance on both the backfield and attacking, prove of it being the 25 scored goals and only three goals conceded in the duration of their initial qualifying run for next year’s FIFA tournament.

While their defense and midfield have become very solid units on the field, it is their striking core, led by players like Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez, Olympique Lyon’s Islam Slimani and Nice’s Andy Delort that could end up tipping the scale in favor of the Algerians in next year’s World Cup tournament.

At the end of the day, Algeria is the only team in African history to ever score 4 goals in a World Cup game, in 2014 against South Korea, so now just imagine what this team, which is easily the best in Algerian history could do?

When you think of African teams in the World Cup, you automatically think about Nigeria.

And how could you not, ever since making their FIFA World Cup debut at the USA 19994 tournament, where they managed to make it to the round-of-16 knockout stages, only to be sent home by Italy in extra time, Nigeria has become a staple of African excellence when it comes to FIFA’s premier national team tournament, being a part of every single tournament except in 2006.

Well, 2022 might just turn out to be the perfect opportunity for Nigeria to once again reclaim their thrones as Africa’s most important team when it comes to World Cup fixtures.

If you take a quick look at the roster of players that Nigeria has, with players like Kelechi Iheanacho, Victor Osimhen, Alex Iwobi, Joe Aribo, Wilfred Ndidi, Zaidu Sanusi and Paul Onuachu, feeling like this team could be in for something great if they qualify for Qatar 2022 is not farfetched at all.

Just with the striking duo of Osimhen and Onuachu, two of Europe’s best and most effective goal scorers right now, Nigeria can already brag about having enough blast power to not only put up a great fight against opponents left and right but also make a strong case for a deep run in the global tournament.

Coach Gernot Rohr just needs to find a way to solidify his lineup and playing style to adjust perfectly to what all of these European-based players are bringing, especially in regards to speed and power and this team should become a menace to play against.

How Senegal has not managed to win a CAF Nations Cup title yet is something that baffles many if not all African football experts around the world.

If you look at this team, the way they play, how easily they can assert dominance over their rivals and their loaded roster of players who are some of the biggest names in European football, if the CAF Nations Cup title is not in their destiny for next year, then maybe a strong, surprising run in Qatar 2022 might just be a perfect substitute.

Led by Liverpool superstar Sadio Mané as their main attacking weapon but with players like Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, Napoli defensive giant Kalidou Koulibaly, Watford striker Ismaila Sarr, Abdou Diallo, Idrissa Gueye, amongst others, Senegal can brag about having the most balanced and yet, stacked national football team in all of the African continent.

Again, if they don’t manage to beat out teams like Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, and Ghana for the AFCON title, once they make it to Qatar 2022, they will surely be candidates to be one of the revelation teams of the tournament.
