2026 World Cup: which African teams have reached a new level?
Description
Ten African nations at the 2026 World Cup, a record made possible by the expansion to 48 teams and by an intercontinental playoff round. Nine of them booked their place in the round of 16, with only Tunisia failing in the group stage. But beyond this collective sweep, four teams stand out for making a true qualitative leap in their history: Morocco, Egypt, DR Congo, and Cape Verde.

World Cup 2026: Argentina - Spain, the meeting of the giants
Description
This Sunday at 7 p.m. GMT, MetLife Stadium in New York-New Jersey hosts the 104th and final match of this World Cup with 48 teams. For the first time in history, a World Cup final will feature two Spanish-speaking nations. Defending world champions Argentina face European champions Spain in what promises to be the most balanced clash of the competition. On one side, the rage and survival instinct of a team that has constantly pushed its limits since the round of 16. On the other, the cold mastery of a squad that has hardly let anything slip by since the start of the tournament.

World Cup 2026: the tournament also ended early for the African referees
Description
A World Cup at two speeds for Africa. While Morocco carried the continent’s colors high on the field, the adventure of African referees came to an abrupt end as early as the round of 16. No scandal, no controversial decision, but a premature and systematic exclusion that raises questions.

Sow, Cissé, Fall... the FSF in a post-World Cup communication operation
Description
The elimination of the Lions in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, on July 1 in Seattle against Belgium after having led 2-0, could have ended with a simple sporting assessment. Twelve days later, Senegal is occupied with a completely different battle: that of words, statements, and competing versions delivered by the leaders of the Senegalese Football Federation. Between calculated admissions, mutual accusations, and backtracking, Abdoulaye Fall, Abdoulaye Seydou Sow, and Bacary Cissé offer a near-live look at the behind-the-scenes of an improvised crisis management.
