Chelsea great Didier Drogba told beIN Sports that the qualified nations are the strongest in Africa and that Egypt and Algeria’s elimination was unsurprising.
“I hope to see an African team win the World Cup one day,” Drogba added.
“I am pleased that the World Cup will include more African teams beginning with the 2022 edition.
“Egypt and Algeria’s failure to qualify was expected; the teams who did qualify are Africa’s best.”
