The 2022 FIFA World Cup is due to begin on Sunday and we have five African countries representing the continent of Africa in the tournament. We therefore take a look at their chances of winning the competition.
African countries have rarely made it to the quarter-finals in the world cup with only Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana in 1990, 2002 and 2010 respectively. Nigeria and Algeria have also made it to the round of 16 but that’s how far both countries have gone in the world cup.
We have analyzed and predicted the chances of the African teams winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
*These odds were culled from Bet9ja (the odds were correct as at time of posting)
Senegal @ 101 odd
Betting code: 33GCTQF
The Senegalese team has one of the best squads to represent the African continent in the world cup. The Teranger Lions won the African Cup of Nations which was hosted by Cameroon. The likes of Sadio Mane, Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly are their key players and are also labeled as world class players who will light up the stage in Qatar. They were close to qualifying for the knockout stage in 2018 but missed out due to accumulated yellow cards in the group stage.
The Teranger Lions have been paired with Netherlands, Ecuador and Qatar and with their squad we rank them with the best chance to win the world cup in Qatar.
Morocco @ 261.00 odd
Betting code: 33GCZD9

Morocco has struggled in recent years in the world cup but with the crop of players representing them in this tournament, we rank them the second best team to Senegal. The Atlas Lions sacked their head coach Vahid Halilhodzic months before the world cup. The Bosnian tactician left out their star man Hakim Ziyech during the qualifier rounds. The likes of Hakim Ziyech, Achraf Hakimi and Youssef En-Nesyri are the major stars for the Moroccan team. We have ranked the Moroccan team as one of the African teams to win the world cup because of the quality they have in their squad.
Ghana @ 301.00 odd
Betting code: 33GD8QG
The Black stars also have a good chance to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup even though the chances are slim. The Ghanian team also have the likes of Thomas Partey, Inaki WIlliams and Daniel Amartey as their main stars for the world cup. They have a young and hungry coach who is ready to fire up the team to greatness.
Cameroon @ 351.00 odd
Betting code: 33GDF57
The Indomitable Lions will be hoping to continue their good run in the 2022 FIFA World Cup after a good performance in the African Nations Cup outing. The Cameroonian team reached the semi-final of the AFCON with the efficiency of Vincent Aboubakar leading the frontline for them. They will also be counting on him in this competition even though their chances of winning the tournament are slim. We put them as a possible winner due to their performance at the recent AFCON competition.
Tunisia @ 651.00 odd
Betting code: 33GDJS3
Tunisia are the least team ranked to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar because they do not possess the quality other African teams possess although we can’t rule them out of also standing a chance of winning it because they also have good players like Wahbi Khazri in their squad. The Carthage Eagles qualified for the world cup by eliminating Mali in the play off round. They also had a decent performance at the African Cup of Nations held in Cameroon. This performance will be a good motivation to take to the world cup. We have also ranked them as one of the African teams to win the world cup in Qatar.
