Currently the top five African underdogs in the world rankings

In the vast land of Africa, there are many teenagers who are enthusiastic and talented about football, but they are subject to the backwardness of Africa's overall economy and the late development of football, Africa, which has many seedlings, has been in a position of in-balance overall football strength, and many excellent black football seedlings have long flowed to European and American countries similar to France.

On the other hand, the level of differentiation of Africa's football strength is actually obvious, every african cup is a herd of deer, every World Cup ticket is a bloody head, there are many teams that have the opportunity to get on the bus. In the history of the African Cup of Nations, a total of 15 different African countries have dominated Africa, and as many as 19 different countries have reached the final of the African Cup.

The Big Four African team that has won the championship more than three times: Egypt (7 times), Cameroon (5 times), Ghana (4 times), Nigeria (3 times), followed by Côte d'Ivoire (2 times), Algeria (2 times), Congo (2 times); Zambia, Tunisia, Sudan, Senegal, Ethiopia, Morocco, South Africa, Congo 1 time each. At the same time, Africa's fish belly troops are really fishy, they may be small African countries with a small population and football population, or countries that have not had time to seriously develop football for many years.

When it comes to Asian fish brisket, people will give priority to Guam, Maldives, Brunei, Timor-Leste, Cambodia and other countries; when it comes to European fish brisket, everyone will give priority to Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Malta and other countries.

Relatively speaking, popular football fans are relatively unfamiliar with Africa's football weak brigades. In this article, the author will take stock of the top five African football weak teams in the bottom rankings according to the latest edition of the world rankings so far for reference. The first thing to point out is that there are currently 210 countries or regions participating in the FIFA World Rankings, compared with exactly 50 in Africa.

Fifth-to-last team in Africa: Mauritius

World Ranking: 172nd; Africa Ranking: 46th.

Mauritius is an African island country located in the Indian Ocean, far from the African continent, covers an area of 2,040 square kilometers, the population is about 1.3 million, beautiful natural scenery, cultural landscapes are many, famous for tourism, per capita GDP of about 10,000 US dollars a year, in Africa can get by.

For football, Mauritians are not concerned, coupled with the fact that it is too far from the African continent, it is difficult to link up with other African countries in football, and they have to build a car behind closed doors, the level of domestic football leagues has been relatively poor for a long time, and the strength of the national team is naturally like that. In the history of the African Cup of Nations, they have only reached the final round once, and the results have reached the group stage, and as for the World Cup, they either simply gave up participating in the qualifiers or were out of the qualifiers early.

Africa's penultimate team: Djibouti

World ranking: 192nd; Africa ranking: 48th.

Djibouti is a small African country that is hard to recall, located on the west coast of the Gulf of Aden in northeast Africa, with an area of 23,200 square kilometers and a population of about 800,000. Thanks to the east of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Indian Ocean to the Border between the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is very important, Djibouti the country's economy is far away, mainly relying on entrepot goods and leased land to maintain, the annual per capita GDP of about 3400 US dollars.

Football is the most popular sport in Djibouti, but limited to the fact that the country is mostly desert and itself is a small country on the scale of a town, djibouti's national team has been weak for many years, never breaking through in the World Cup and the African Cup of Nations to the qualifiers. For reference, Djibouti once won 10-1, 9-1 for Uganda and Rwanda, two weak teams that are completely unable to rank in African football, which is enough to witness the strength of Djibouti football.

Africa's penultimate team: Somalia

World Ranking: 194th; Africa Ranking: 49th.

In terms of land area, Somalia is 246,000 square kilometers, with a population of 16.4 million. In terms of annual per capita GDP, Somalia is only in the early $300 performance. Despite years of extreme backwardness, education and economic collapse, Somalia is definitely an African country with a strong presence in the minds of the masses. Referring to Somalia, an African country in the eastern tip of Africa with the longest coastline on the continent and guarding the junction of the Suez Canal and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the notorious Somali pirates are of first thought.

In terms of football, Somalia's enthusiasm is very high, and the fact that the existence of the FA can still be maintained in the country's situation can already be explained. As for the level, the highest level is that they have stopped in the qualifying rounds, and they are naturally the weakest teams at the bottom of the African football world.

Africa's penultimate team: Seychelles

World ranking: 197th; Africa ranking: 50th.

Seychelles is a mini-archipelago state located in the east of South Africa, in the central and western Indian Ocean, with an area of 445 square kilometers, a population of 98,000 and a per capita GDP of 11,000 US dollars, which is a good point in Africa. This small country is famous for its archipelago scenery, more developed tourism, and is also making money by exporting high-quality dried coconuts, cinnamon tree oil, spice beans, turtle shells, coconut shell fiber, mint, and salted fish.

In terms of football, seychelles is the same, because it is far from the mainstream football circle in Africa, it has to be closed doors, and the level of football has been low for many years. Compared with Mauritius, Seychelles as a country is smaller and the level of football is naturally lower. At the 2018 Africa Cup of Nations, Seychelles goalkeeper Moussard was once popular because of his weight of more than 300 pounds and his bloated body that did not look like a professional player at all. In fact, Moussard is really not a professional player, he is just a cook who loves to play football, and his teammates in the national team are all part-time footballers who generate electricity for love.
