Africa will be looking to double the number of places it has at an expanded World Cup from 2026.
The continent’s football association presidents have told football’s world governing body Fifa they want at least 10 spots in the 48-team World Cup.

That would be double the five places Africa has at the 2018 and 2022 events.
