Adepoju Backs Morocco, Ivory Coast and Senegal to Excel at 2026 World Cup
Former Super Eagles midfielder Mutiu Adepoju expects Morocco to surpass their 2022 semi-final run at the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. He believes Morocco, Ivory Coast and Senegal have the quality and pedigree to make Africa proud on football’s biggest stage. Adepoju praised Ivory Coast’s 1-0 win over Ecuador, highlighted by Amad Diallo’s late strike in Philadelphia. He says that victory underlines African teams’ growing strength in Group E alongside Germany and Curaçao. Morocco held Brazil to a 1-1 draw in their Group C opener, and despite Tunisia’s heavy defeat to Sweden, Adepoju also tips Senegal—Africa’s reigning champions—to deliver when they face France in Group I.
