Ghana captain Andrew Ayew has clamored for more slots for Africa in the World Cup.
Africa has one of the highest representations on FIFA with 53 countries but has been allocated only five slots for the tournament.
Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon, Tunisia and Morocco will be the five teams to be representing Africa at the tournament which comes off in November in Qatar.
Ayew, who believes Africa are underrepresented at the World Cup has called for more slots.
“If we have more teams, that will be fantastic. It’s about time. We have the most countries, but we are underrepresented, and the African qualifiers are always difficult and stressful. We have a lot of big teams, and the expectations are high, so it will be difficult for all of the big teams to qualify with only five slots.
If we can secure more berths, we will have a better chance of seeing an African team reach the semi-finals or even win the World Cup” he told Al Jazeera.
