The 2026 World Cup arrived with an expanded format and this has led to the tournament feeling very different to previous ones. At the start, many expected the traditional big teams to dominate, especially when the knockout stages arrived. However, what we have seen is a series of surprises that were never expected.

The World Cup is already underway, and the shock results have already begun to flow.

As the FIFA World Cup continues to expand and change, so too do the expectations surrounding African teams. The 2026 tournament marks a rather big milestone, with a record of ten African nations qualifying for the competition.

It embodies a showcase of African talent and a cultural celebration that brings together millions of supporters around the world.

From packed stadiums in Nigeria to neighborhood pitches in Senegal, the game connects people across ethnic, linguistic, and social divides.
