Why African football is in a strong position

African football has been criticized for lacking some of the intricacies of European football. However, the sport is constantly improving and is at one of its strongest levels ever. Some of world's greatest active players hail from the African continent, such as Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.

Sadio Mane has enjoyed a wonderful year, earning Senegal their maiden African Cup of Nations success and sending his nation to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He also won the UEFA Champions League with Liverpool and came second in the Ballon d'Or rankings. Senegal is priced at 80/1 to win the tournament. Africa is experiencing a golden generation of footballers. They are making it big and rivaling European and South American stars. They have a chance of leaving a stronger legacy in football.

Inaki Williams is a key player for Ghana's World Cup squad. He is one of the most consistent players in La Liga. His experience will be crucial for the development of young players. Ghana is in a tough group with Portugal and Uruguay. They are hoping to make it out of it. They need to be the strongest African nation in Qatar. It is unlikely they will do that. The team needs to win the World cup. If they do, they need a better group. Senegal is on the rise. Inaki has played against some of world's greatest players, including Lionel Messi.

André-Frank Zambo Anguissa is in fine form for Napoli in Serie A. Eric Choupo-Moting is a star for Bayern Munich. Cameroon is another African nation that is looking to achieve big things.

Morocco is the weakest African nation at the World Cup this year. Hakim Ziyech has struggled for form at club level since joining Chelsea. Africa's national teams are at a remarkable level and can compete with Europe's top nations.
