Africa Press-Nigeria:
The Super Eagles have again missed out on appearing in the latest edition of the popular EA Sports franchise FIFA 21 will released this week, and while gamers will be able to play as all of the world’s biggest clubs, they won’t be able to take control of Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
The West African are one of the many African nations who have been neglected on the game, as while FIFA offers fans the prospect of playing with a range of international teams, Caf only receives meagre representation.
Of the countries available on the game, there will be some African teams included, with the likes of Egypt, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire and South Africa all playable on the game.
It’s great news for fans of these nations, but too many supporters of Africa’s national teams are set to be left disappointed.
This has nothing to do—as some have suggested—with the teams’ standing in the world game.
None of the six top-ranked African teams in the Fifa World Rankings have been included in the video game, this is a list that includes Senegal (20th), Tunisia (26th), Nigeria (29th), Algeria (35th), Morocco (43rd) and Ghana (46th).
