FIFA president Gianni Infantino promised to come good on a promise to hike Africa's World Cup finals berths to nine or ten during a visit to the impoverished West African state of Mauritania this week.
According to him, of the 48 teams scheduled for the 2026 World Cup nine or ten will be African, Daily Nation reported.
"We want everyone to have the right to dream and how better to do that that taking part in a major event such as a World Cup," Infantino told a press conference.
