There are theories that the football match between two African nations in the ongoing world cup challenge caused the price increase.

The match between Cameroon and Ghana boosted the Afrikaan NFT Collection.

African Culture-themed tokens with Afrikaans NFT collection floor prices have increased by more than 200%, according to a CoinGecko report.

On OpenSea Marketplace, the Non-Fungible Token collection is currently valued at 0.275 Ethereum ($326).

The ongoing #WorldCup'22 in Qatar is to blame for the NFT collection's unexpected price increase.

Yesterday, on November 24, two African nations, Ghana and Cameroon, played opening matches.

Despite losing to their rivals, both nations put up a valiant fight. Ghana played admirably in a 2–3 loss to Portugal, while Switzerland defeated Cameroon 1–0.
