As the 2026 Globe Cup approaches, AfroPari has released an assessment of African teams' prospects. The tournament, set to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will feature five African representatives: Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria, and Cameroon. Morocco, a semifinalist in 2022, is considered the strongest contender from the continent.
AfroPari's analysis highlights Morocco's defensive solidity and midfield creativity, led by players like Achraf Hakimi and Sofyan Amrabat. Senegal, despite the absence of Sadio Mané due to injury, remains competitive with a young squad. Tunisia and Algeria are seen as dark horses, while Cameroon relies on experience.
The assessment notes that African teams have historically struggled in the knockout stages, but Morocco's 2022 performance has raised expectations. The Globe Cup will run from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with matches across 16 cities in North America.
