Across all three titles, a few key trends emerge:
- Egypt and Morocco are Africa’s most consistent elite nations, ranking in the global top 10 across multiple titles.
- Senegal continues to rise as a multi-title contender.
- Madagascar and Ghana are emerging forces, especially in football esports.
- Depth is improving, with over a dozen African nations represented in the global top 50 across different titles.
With 120 nations set to compete in the FIFAe 2026 season, Africa enters the year not as an underdog continent — but as a legitimate competitive region with multiple global top-10 contenders.
The 2026 season will not just test Africa’s best teams — it will reveal whether the continent can convert rankings into titles.
One thing is clear: Africa is no longer chasing relevance in FIFAe.
Africa is competing for dominance.
