It is a performance which should animate discussions between supporters in the months to come, until the event kicks off: for the first time in the history of the World Cup, the three Maghreb countries will be in the running.
Morocco and Algeria, but also Tunisia, have validated their ticket for the most prestigious international competition. Best defense in the qualifiers, Tunisia ended its campaign with a clear success against Namibia on Monday (3-0).

For their part, Morocco and Algeria have also been fixed for a while. The Atlas Lions had an almost perfect run before their last outing this Tuesday against Congo (9 p.m.). The Fennecs face Uganda a little earlier in the evening (6 p.m.) after securing their qualification in the middle of last week.
A return to the forefront of Northern countries
The qualifications of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia symbolize the return to the forefront of the countries in the north of the continent. An observation reinforced by the performance of Egypt, since the Pharaohs of Mohamed Salah also ensured their qualification quite early.
Conversely, major nations in sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing much more winding paths in this qualifying campaign, like Nigeria. The last evening promises to be incredible.
