World Cup 2022: Senegal coach Aliou Cisse believes African football is getting better despite early exit

Published on: 05 December 2022

Senegal boss Aliou Cisse claims African football is getting better despite four countries exiting the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Ghana, Cameroon and Tunisia failed to progress from the group stages while the African champions lost 3-0 to England on Sunday in the round of 16 stage on Sunday.

Morocco are the only African country left at the tournament and they take on tournament favourites Spain on Tuesday as they look to far in the competition.

"It is not easy to become world champions but in Africa infrastructure is improving," he said after the game.

"We need more technical directors, we need to work on refereeing as well. You need all those things in place.

"We've made mistakes in the past. You can't just do it overnight. In all countries in Africa there is a real sports policy in place. We have to keep that up if we want to win these tournaments.
