The last stage towards Qatar is fixed for the 10 African selections still in contention! This Saturday, CAF and legends El-Hadji Diouf and Emmanuel Adebayor indeed drew the draw for the 2022 World Cup play-offs. And as you might expect, we will be entitled to five superb posters, which will be played in the form of a double round-trip confrontation!
Both present at the last edition in Russia, Senegal of Sadio Mané and Egypt of Mohamed Salah, teammates in Liverpool, will indeed compete for one of the tickets at stake. This will also be the case for Cameroon and ‘Algeria, who missed the last edition. After their fiasco at CAN 2021, the Fennecs will not have the right to make mistakes against Cameroonians who dream of succeeding the band to Djamel Belmadi by then by becoming African champions at home.
Morocco will start as favorites against DR Congo, the only one of the ten qualified not to participate in CAN 2021, and the same will be true for Nigeria against Ghana, also sadly eliminated in the group stage of the competition while the Super Eagles made a strong impression. Finally, Tunisia and Mali, inseparable in recent years, will compete for the last ticket. After the victory of the Malian Eagles over the Carthage Eagles (1-0) last week at the CAN in incredible conditions, there will be revenge in the air. See you at the end of March for these shocks! Remember that the Mondial will take place from November 21 to December 18, 2022.
