World Cup 2026: UEFA Will Ask For 16 Places For European Teams by EYIBLESSN(m): 10:36pm On Feb 09, 2017 |
European football's governing body will ask for
its teams to be given 16 places at the expanded
48-team 2026 World Cup.
Uefa will also request that the European teams
who do qualify are kept apart in the first stage.
The new-look tournament will begin with an
initial round of 16 three-team groups, with 32
qualifiers going through to the knockout stage.
Thirteen European teams qualified for the last
World Cup in Brazil in 2014, which was won by
Germany.
Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said the
requests are "realistic", and it is his desire for
every European team to qualify from the first
round.
Fifa is expected to confirm the quotas for each
continental governing body in May.
Ceferin was speaking at a meeting of the Uefa
Executive Committee in Nyon. All members of
the committee agreed with the proposals.
Other proposals approved at Thursday's meeting
included:
Limiting Uefa's president and executive
committee members to a maximum of three
four-year terms.
Granting membership of the committee to
two European Club Association
representatives.
Ensuring Uefa competitions are selected
through a transparent bidding process. 1 Like |
