Speaking with FRANCE 24's Mark Owen, sports presenter and journalist Thando Sibiya stated that "it is very likely for an African team to be in the final of this World Cup." Sibiya attributed this to the significant training efforts underway across the continent, describing it as "a long-running project where there's a lot of investment."

This perspective reflects growing optimism about African teams' competitiveness on the global football stage, supported by sustained development programs.
