Barrages Coupe du monde 2026 : Cameroun/RD Congo et Nigeria /Gabon, quatre prétendants pour une place
The semi-finals of the African playoffs for the 2026 World Cup take place this Thursday in Morocco and promise electrifying matches. Four teams, four ambitions, and only two tickets to the final of these playoffs.
At the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat, Nigeria will face Gabon in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Super Eagles will be relying on their star player, Victor Osimhen, the current spearhead of the Nigerian attack. On the other side, the Panthers will be counting on the experienced Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, determined to give his country a chance to qualify for the World Cup.
This clash between two of the best African strikers of the moment could swing the game at any moment. Both nations are dreaming of qualification and arrive with the firm intention of securing their place in the playoff final.
The second semi-final will pit Cameroon against DR Congo, a Central African classic. The Indomitable Lions, the first African team to reach the quarter-finals of a World Cup in 1990, approach this match under the pressure of securing qualification for the 2026 World Cup. That edition will, for the first time, offer 9 to 10 places to African nations.
But the task ahead for Cameroon is daunting against a Congolese side determined to return to the most prestigious competition. DR Congo has not participated in a final tournament since 1974 and sees these playoffs as a golden opportunity to rewrite its history.
Between sporting ambitions and global dreams, these semi-finals promise to be intense, suspenseful, and emotionally charged. Morocco, host of these playoffs, will be the scene of a battle between four giants who are determined not to miss their chance to qualify for the North American tournament.
It remains to be seen which teams will reach the final and continue to keep alive the hope of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
