List of African Goals at the FIFA World Cup

Listed here are details of goals scored by African teams at the FIFA World Cup for association football. Only goals at the World Cup Finals are counted, not goals scored during the qualification phase.

The following columns are used in the table:

  • Shirt: Shirt number of goal scorer. Since FIFA only started requiring (and recording) numbers on shirts at the 1954 World Cup, Abdulrahman Fawzi, the only African to score at the World Cup before 1954, has no shirt number.
  • Scorer: Name of goal scorer. This is in italics if it is an own goal. Goals both for and against African teams are listed. (As of 2006, no African men's team had ever been 'gifted' an own goal by another team.)
  • G# : Goal Number e.g. if this is 3, then this is the 3rd goal scored by this player in all World Cups.
  • Min: the minute the goal was scored.
  • Type : used to indicate penalties and own goals.
  • Assist: Name of the player supplying the assist. This is in italics if the last player to touch the ball (not counting deflections) before the goal scorer was from the defending team e.g. René Higuita to Roger Milla at Italia 90. (Please fill in empty spots, with references.)
  • Ent: The minute the goal scorer entered the game. This is 0 for those who started the game and N for a substitute who entered the game in the Nth minute.
  • Team: for whom the goal counted.
  • B4: The score in the match just before the goal was scored.
  • R: Result - whether the game was Won, Lost, or Drawn
  • Score at the end of the game.
  • Opponent: the team against whom the goal counted.
  • Date : the date of the match
  • City : the city hosting the match.
  • Link to the official match report by FIFA.

Women's World Cup

edit

The first FIFA Women's World Cup was held in China in 1991, with 12 teams. Nigeria, Africa's only representatives there, did not score in their three matches.[2]

Nigeria have competed at all five Women's World Cup held so far, with Ghana joining them since USA 1999 when Africa was awarded a second representative. No other African country has yet appeared at the Women's World Cup. The two finalists at the 2010 African Women's Football Championship (to be held in South Africa in October 2010) will qualify for the 2011 Women's World Cup.

Extra columns in this table include:

  • Rnd: Round of match where goal was scored - if not included, it is a Round 1 (group) match.
  • Age: of goal scorer on the day the goal was scored, in yy:mm:dd format. For example, Rita Nwadike was 20:07:05 - 20 years, 7 months, 5 days - when she scored the first African goal at the Women's World Cup.
  • In the last column, a link to the goal scorer's FIFA page.
