Performance of the African National Teams
As it is commonly known, the FIFA World Cup is the most popular football tournament around the globe. CAF is allocated five places in the finals, and these must be contested via a gruelling qualifying campaign between 54 countries. The history of Africa at the World Cup is not pattered with success in the same way as other confederations, but progress is being made, with several highlights.
In 1934 Egypt became the first African team to qualify for a World Cup, but a team from Africa didn’t win a match until Tunisia beat Mexico 3-1 in 1978. Reaching the knockout stages was first achieved by Morocco in 1986, with Cameroon besting that in 1990 by securing a slot in the quarterfinals, the highest placing to date from a CAF national team.
2010 marked the first and only time to date that an African nation has hosted the World Cup. Bidding was only open to African nations and South Africa was chosen. Overall the 2010 World Cup was successful. The country built 5 new football stadiums, and invested in transport infrastructure, a positive step for the country’s future development. It was however, a European team that won, Spain were crowned Champions.
As previously mentioned the African Cup of Nations is the major CAF tournament, specifically for CAF members. The tournament is currently held every two years, and was first played in 1957. Egypt is the most successful country at the African Cup of Nations with a total of 7 wins, three of those consecutive in 2006, 2008 and 2010. Just behind them is Cameroon with 5 wins in total. Other teams such as Ghana, Congo, Nigeria and Ivory Coast have all won the tournament more than once.
