An African country has never won the World Cup, but along the way countries from the continent have produced special moments such as Senegal’s victory over France in the 2002 World Cup that sent shockwaves around the competition.
Along with Senegal, Cameroon and Ghana have also reached the quarter-finals of the tournament. Players have made names for themselves on the grand stage of the World Cup and earned moves to the Premier League and other leading sides across Europe. Here are two players that excelled in the tournament.
Asamoah Gyan (2010 World Cup)

The 2022 iteration of the Black Stars has a lot to live up to in Qatar and will be hopeful of a performance like the one Gyan put forward in South Africa….
