Africa will get nine automatic places when the FIFA World Cup expands to 48 teams in 2026. The Fifa Council ratified the decision to give Africa four more automatic places yesterday in Bahrain.
A tenth African country will take part in a six-nation play-off tournament to decide the last two spots.
The Bureau of the FIFA Council made the original proposal of how it planned to allocate the 48 places on 30 March.
The expanded World Cup will feature 16 teams from Europe.
FIFA members voted in January to expand the World Cup from 32 to 48 teams, starting with the 2026 edition.
