Confederation of African Football (CAF) President, Patrice Motsepe said his organisation firmly backs the proposal put forward by Saudi Arabia at last month’s Congress.
“The highest body of acAF f deemed it neceso express its support for that excellent resolution,” the South African said after Friday’s Executive Committee meeting in Morocco.
“Taking into account the serious financial challenges, lack of infrastructure and facilities, African football could probably be the biggest beneficiary of a World Cup every two years.”
Staging the competition biennially would double the income Fifa, which is studying the feasibility of the Saudi proposal, makes from its most lucrative competition.
