FIFA Rankings Morocco, Senegal lead Africa as Cameroon plunge
According to the FIFA February Rankings, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt are the best national teams.
“The unanimous decision that was taken by the CAF Executive Committee to support Morocco’s bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2030 means that the bid of Morocco is now the bid of the African Continent,” Motsepe said.
The World Cup was first held in Africa by South Africa in 2010, where Spain won the tournament for the first time.
“We are now focusing on ensuring that Africa once more hosts the FIFA World Cup and are committed to working together with all Football National Associations and Confederations to make this happen,” the CAF president added.
Morocco has made a record five unsuccessful attempts in 1994, 1998, 2006, 2010 and recently for the 2026 finals to be held jointly by the USA, Mexico and Canada.
