African football icons Mohamed Salah and Achraf Hakimi appear set to feature at the 2026 World Cup as Egypt and Morocco have built commanding leads in their qualifying groups.
However, reigning CAF Footballer of the Year Ademola Lookman and fellow Nigerian Victor Osimhen are facing a struggle to be involved in the 48-nation global showpiece.
Inspired by Paris Saint-Germain full-back Hakimi, Morocco boast a nine-point Group E advantage over Niger, the biggest lead among the nine groups.
Liverpool star Salah has scored six goals in six qualifiers, helping Egypt to top Group A by five points from Burkina Faso.
With four rounds of matches remaining, in September and October, only dramatic collapses can stop Egypt and Morocco being among the guaranteed nine African qualifiers for the tourna-ment in the US, Canada and Mexico.
