Former Nigeria captain Austin Jay Jay Okocha has predicted that African countries will struggle at the World Cup in 2022.
Okocha believes that North American and Asian teams outperform African teams.
Senegal, Morocco, Cameroon, Tunisia, and Ghana will represent the continent at the World Cup.
“It’s the first time I’m not confident about Africa’s chances in the World Cup.
“If you look at Asia and North America, they seem stronger and more advanced than us. We were already 50 paces behind South America and Europe, and now North America and Asia seem to be ahead of us.
“We have hopes in Senegal and Morocco, they seem the strongest. Tunisia, Ghana and Cameroon seem to be a stepping stone for other teams to reach the knockout stages,” Cartonsport.com quoted Okocha as saying.
