Former Super Eagles winger, Emmanuel Amuneke, has charged African teams to perform better at the 2022 FIFA World Cup than they did in the Russia 2018 edition.
At the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, no African team reached the knockout stages of the tournament.
According to Aljazeera, Amuneke feels that the 2022 FIFA World Cup will provide the best opportunity for African teams to fix the continent’s poor showing at Russia 2018.

“The five teams have been tested enough in recent friendlies and they know they must come out of the group before thinking of a semi-final ticket,” Amuneke said of Africa’s five representatives at the 2022 FIFA World Cup; Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon, Morocco and Tunisia.
“One step at a time will do. The tournament in Qatar is a great opportunity for African teams to fix what happened in Russia when no teams progressed to the second round,” Amuneke who represented the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the USA ’94 World Cup stated.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to hold between November 20 and December 18.
The Atlas Lions of Morocco are the first African team ever to qualify for the FIFA World Cup; achieving the feat in Mexico ’70.
