Morocco is currently Africa’s best performers at the tournament having reached the semi-finals of the competition, however, after they lost 2-1 to Croatia in the third place match on Saturday, they have not matched the Super Eagles win and goals record in the history of the tournament.
The Eagles who made their debut appearance at the 1994 World Cup in the USA still holds the record for the highest number of victories and most goals scored by an African team at the tournament.
The Eagles have played 21 games two fewer than Morocco (23) at the football biggest showpiece recording six wins, they also have the highest number of goals (23) at the tournament so far.
Prior to this tournament, Cameroon, Ghana and Senegal were regarded as Africa’s best performers at the tournament having reached the quarter-finals of the competition.
The Atlas Lions who have featured in six editions of the World Cup have recorded five wins losing 11 games and drawing seven games.
Morocco, Cameroon, Ghana and Senegal are one win away from equaling Nigeria’s winning record at the World Cup while the Indomitable Lions are also a goal shy of the Eagles’ scoring feat.
