Africa “will definitely support” expanding the 2022 World Cup to 48 teams, says the Confederation of African Football (Caf) vice-president.
Fifa’s Council is meeting in Miami on Thursday and Friday when it will discuss the possible expansion.
With Africa’s World Cup allocation set to double, the views of Nigeria’s Amaju Pinnick may come as little surprise.
“Caf will definitely support the vision of (Fifa president) Gianni Infantino if he wants this,” he told BBC Sport.
“Why wait until 2026 if we can achieve it now? If you do it now, there will be more money and more participating teams.
“In Africa we are going to have another 4.5 (places), which makes more sense to us – rather than just going with 5 nations. That’s why Africa will always support Infantino.”
