Best African National Football Teams

The Top Ten
1 Ghana

Ghana are 4 time African Cip champs won the Best Movers Award something that Egypt and Nigeria never did nor ever will do and even made it to the Quarterfinals of the World Cup, and should have been in the Semi final. Thanks a lot Luis Suarez. Egypt and Nigeria are lucky to make it in the round of 16. How bout that Egypt and Nigeria voters. Do not get me wrong Egypt and Nigeria still have good teams. I have lots of respect for both but Ghana is the clear best team in Africa.

Ghana won the African cup of nations in 1963 1978 1982 and another year and made it to the finals and lost to Ivory Coast on penalties and made it to the 2010 quarterfinals in the World Cup they would have made it to the semifinals if Luis Suarez

Ghana were number one seed in I think it was C they made it to the Finals but lost to Ivory Coast Egypt does not have what it takes to get a trophy and Ghana are 1st seed in the World Cup u23 maybe. Ghana 90000000000000 Egypt 1 you mad Egypt fans

Ghana is by far the most succesfull nation in African football.They have also been the pride of Africa in most occasions,lets take the world cup for instance Ghana has has lifted the African flag very high.In 2006 the were knocked out in the round of sixten by champions Brazil.
And in 2010 were knocked out in the quarterfinals by Uruguay.Ghana IS BY FAR THE BEST.thank you

2 Egypt

It is a great football team, one of its players, Mo Salah has come and played for a club in England, I've forgotten which club, but they are an amazing African team.

Egyptian national football team is the best. I love Mohamed Salah the player who platers for AS Roma he is the 2nd fastest player in the world and Egypt have also some good players like Trezeguet the player who player in Anderlecht and Many players in England like Sobhi and El neny

Winning the African cup of nations 7 times, defeating Italy 1-0 at their strongest time. Having a world class player that’s gonna be winning the ballon do’r in the future AKA: Mo salah, and owning the all time No. 1 African football club al ahly that won the CAF 8 times and the No. 2 engytpian club Al- Zamalek which is just after al ahly in Africa for being the second most CAF winner were they won it 5 times

Clearly Egypt by defeating Italy 1 - 0 they regained Africa it's honor in football society, you mad Ghana fan's

3 Cameroon

The team that paved the way for the recognition of African football at the 1990 world cup when they beat the reigning champions Argentina who at the time had the likes of Maradona, Burruchaga and Goychochea 1-0 and nearly made the semi final losing 3-2 in extra time to the best England team at a world cup apart from their win in 1966. Which had the likes of Shilton, Gascoigne, Lineker, Wright, Pearce etc. whereas half of the Cameroon team that played at the tournament played their trade in their native country. This performance made sure that more African teams could qualify for the world cup and introduced the world to the legendary Roger Milla an icon of the continent's football who showed that at 38 he could still rock the tournament. They have reached the world cup more than any other African team,7 times, and apart from Egypt they have won the AFCON more than anyone else(joint with Ghana on 4). They have produced some of the continent's greatest players in their respected ...more

The Lions are indomitable, and on average symbolize the most representable pack of champions from the continent. Their achievements resonate worldwide and their reputation of producing some of the most talented geniuses in the history of international football, leaves the organization nothing short of super stardom.

From statistics, Africa nations cup, olympics, under 20 world cup quater finalist, world cup quarter finalist, and the only nation from Africa to ever have reached the confederation cup final...Cameroon is the greatest of all times..

Cameroon is definitely the best in african football. It should be ranked first. Everyone knows Cameroonian football. Cameroonian football legends like Roger Milla, Etoo Fils, Foe, Abubakar Vincent, Christian Basogog... have given the world a different perspective of African football.

4 Cote d'Ivoire

The cote d'lvoire team is the best football team in Africa because their team has good performance and now playing good football Is the best team in Africa thank you

I think they are good. The reason they are eliminated are because drew against Mozambique 0-0 and then lost to Cameroon 1-0!

Cote d' Ivoire will bet any of those teams. And should on the top after beating Ghana last African cup. (No arguments about that! )

Cote d'Ivoire should be first

5 Algeria

Algeria always honored the African continent in the World cup (1982, 1986, 2010, 2014) same as Ghana and Cameroon did! These three nation should be top 3! Algeria is currently the best African team after winning the AFCON 2019! Despite corruption in the African Association of Football that Favorited certain nations! Algeria dominated the African football for certain periods especially from 1980 to 1990. Algeria has one of the best Derbies in the world MCAlger VS USMAlger.

Algeria is the first African team to bring the best of footballing but also to inspire the African nations to play without complex, it was the 1982 with Madjer and Belloumi beating the favorite nation Germany with the best display of football. that was when the African football started. No nation in the history of Africa has done it before, so let's say Bravo to the Algerian legends who sparked and brought Africa to the world. YC

Algeria has the greatest potential, with the their young squad strong enough to take on the best nations globally. If the support for the national team continues Algeria will rise to new levels of African stardom

Should be the first African team to qualify for the 1/8 after beating Germany and Chile in the group stages in 1982 world cup

6 Nigeria

Nigeria have been unbearable in recent times, having won the nations cup, played over 17 games unbeaten. Team Nigeria are the current champions of Africa.

Nigeria is the best in Africa considering their world cup qualification every yr and d talent they produce,they are just amazing

Nigeria won the U17 and U23 just now beating Algeria 2:1
THEY ARE CLEARLY THE BEST

In my opinion they have lots of great players like Oziman for example.

7 Senegal

Best players team when they have very good coach I mean professional who knows how to put each player on the right spot and to keep-them in good physical condition during the all competition mean the word cup.

WHAT? Why isn't Senegal number 1? They tied against Japan, (the best team in Asia) 2-2! And won against Poland in the 2018 World Cup!

Senegal, like Egypt, have got players playing across the world.

Among the best team in the world! And best in Africa!

8 Zimbabwe

So full of talent but coaches and officials tend to get gready and meddle in their competitive matches thereby disturbing their perfomance

A nation with Talent,

Zim has nice players

Zimbabwe is ma 1 in 2016

9 South Africa

South africa they beat only big teams in africa

11 Congo

Congo unreal

12 Morocco

Had the best african performance in the world cup, Almost won against Spain if not for the using of the VAR in Last minute.

Morocco didn't lost a single match they are even better than Algeria last match with Algeria Morocco won 4-0

Morocco is going to beat iran 1-0 possibly and morocco is going to beat portigal 2-1 and morrocco might lose at spain and they will go to the cemmyfinal together

The first african team qualified to 1/8 final in world cup mexico 1986

13 Kenya
14 Tunisia

Tunisia should be able to get the top ten spot easily

Tunisia is number 1 team in Africa

15 Mozambique
16 Angola

Qualified for World Cup 2006

17 Uganda

Uganda forever. I play soccer I'm decent, and I'm from Uganda. Should be top 10 though

Ateam that finished on top of Ghana in the world cup qualifiers finishing second behind egypt

Good team now

Udanda is the best

18 Ivory Coast

The best of the best

19 Zambia

Zambia is definitely one of the best African teams of all time and makes the top 10. They won their first Afcon in 2012 and have being regular contenders at the tournament for a long time having being reached 3 finals losing twice to Congo DR and Nigeria before beating Ivory Coast in 2012. Today the are honestly more of an average side than a power house but were one of Africa's finest national teams from the 70's to early 1990's. They may be yet to qualify for their first World Cup but are definitely the best African side yet to qualify for the tournament.

This nation had the entire national team dead and they assembled another team in less than month and went on to reach the continent highest tournament

Zambia is Better than Zimbabwe and south Africa at soccer

Just because

20 Tunis

First african team to win a world cup match in 1978, reaching three time african cup final and wining it in 2004
