Daily Post about 2 hours 1 mins read

At least three African countries have confirmed their spots in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32.

Cote d’Ivoire became the third team to qualify, thanks to a 2-0 win over Curacao on Thursday night.

The Elephants needed all three points to be assured of a place in the knockouts.

And Nicolas Pepe’s brace ensured that the Ivorians finished second behind Group E winners, Germany.

They will now face the team that finishes as Group I runners-up.

South Africa’s 1-0 win over South Korea ensured they are through to the knockouts alongside Morocco, who had thrashed Haiti 4-2.

Tunisia is the only African team whose elimination has been confirmed.
