The African country didn't even have a chance to compete on the world stage at first. Nigeria had administrative problems, so the country was added as a replacement.

Mali's last game is Tuesday, when they play Canada.

If they win, it will be the country's first World Cup win since 2010, when the team went 1-4 and didn't make it to the finals.
