And if it was the year of Africa? 

Three Lions to roar.

An Eagle to soar high in the Qatari sky and a Star to shine in the firmament.

Africa will be well represented at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar at the end of this year.

She even has something to dream of winning, why not, for the first time, the Holy Grail.

Everything will be possible for the continent (…).

The Lions did it.

(…) Senegal snatched its qualification for the next World Cup ahead of Egypt, thanks to the penalty shootout (3-1).

mission accomplished! "

Cameroon, crowned with its title, had missed the boat.

More generally, over the last 30 years, it's fifty-fifty: half the time, the reigning African champion fails to join the World Cup.

in the bitter aftermath of a 2021 African Cup of Nations that the Cameroonians organized to occupy only third place, and while a number of bookmakers had sold the skin of the… Lion before having killed him, the Lions of the brand new coach Rigobert Song, devoured the Algerian Fennecs in their hitherto impregnable stronghold of Blida.

It must be said bluntly,

the Indomitable Lions, carried to the edge of the lawn by the new president of the Cameroonian Football Federation, Samuel Eto'o in person, showed a sacred character to emerge victorious from the Algerian hell.

at the end of one of the most successful matches under the Halilhodzic era and an undisputed victory against DR Congo , the Moroccan national team has validated its ticket for the 22nd edition of the World Cup, Qatar 2022. The goals of Azeddine Ounahi, Tarik Tissoudali and Achraf Hakimi animated the bays of the Mohammed V Complex in Casablanca.

 The Eagles of Carthage qualified 

The national team got its ticket thanks to the goalless draw (0-0) obtained last night, at the Radès stadium in front of its Malian counterpart, on behalf of the 3rd and last round return of the African qualifications.

Tunisia had won the first leg (1-0), played last Friday in Bamako. 

After 1978, 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2018, Tunisia qualified for the sixth time in its history for a final phase of the World Cup 

 the double confrontation between Ghana and Nigeria kept its suspense until the final whistle,

After the 0-0 goalless draw in Ghana, Nigeria, which received the Black Stars in Abuja, seemed to be holding the right end.

It was not counting with the Ghanaian captain Thomas Partey, scorer from the 10th minute.

But quickly, Nigeria came back thanks to a penalty.

The final score will remain at 1 goal everywhere, thus advantage to Ghana which qualifies thanks to its away goal.
