The evolution of African football isn't talked about enough! 🌍🔥

Back in November, Gennaro Gattuso complained that Europe's path had become unfair, pointing directly to the rise in African representation for 2026.

🗣️"In my day, the best runners-up went straight to the World Cup," he said. "In 1990 and 1994 there were two (African) teams, now there are nine. It's not a controversy, but it creates difficulties."

Today, history has been made as 9 out of 10 African nations have qualified for the 2026 World Cup knockout stage:

✅ Algeria 🇩🇿
✅ Cape Verde 🇨🇻
✅ DR Congo 🇨🇩
✅ Egypt 🇪🇬
✅ Ghana 🇬🇭
✅ Ivory Coast 🇨🇮
✅ Morocco 🇲🇦
✅ Senegal 🇸🇳
✅ South Africa 🇿🇦
❌ Tunisia 🇹🇳

Who do you think can make it the furthest, and which African team can be labeled as the "dark horse" of this World Cup? 🏆👇
