From Mbappe to Musiala: Every Single World Cup Player Who Could Have Played for an African Nation
830 players have been involved at the 2022 World Cup, but how many of them could have played for African nations?
Nathan Ake
Ake’s father—Moise—is from the Cote d’Ivoire, and there were rumours earlier in his career that he might be primed to represent the Elephants in international football.
Ultimately, he plumped for the Netherlands, graduating to the seniors in 2017 after working his way up through the ranks.

Cody Gakpo
One of the stars of the World Cup so far, expect the PSV Eindhoven man to be playing for one of Europe’s biggest clubs in 2023.
Already a Netherlands hero after his performances during the group stage, Gakpo could have played for Togo or Ghana via his father.
