Football in Equatorial Guinea
It was during the Spanish colonialism that football arrived to Equatorial Guinea.[1] Football is now a very popular sport in the country.[2] Recently the national team has made a few surprising results.[3][4] In the qualification for the FIFA World Cup in 2006 Togo (who later qualified for the World Cup) was beaten 1-0, and in the qualification for the African Cup of Nations they beat Cameroon 1-0.
