Africa will be looking to double the number of places it has at an expanded World Cup from 2026. Forty-eight teams will be contesting for honours in the proposed World Cup finals.
The continent's football association presidents have told football's world governing body FIFA that they want at least 10 spots in the 48-team World Cup.
"All associations back the idea to expand the World Cup and there is the hope that Africa can have 10 places in future," South African FA chief Danny Jordaan said on Wednesday.
That would be double the five places the continent has at the next two finals in Russia next year and Qatar in 2022.
Europe is seeking a minimum of 16 places, up from 13, and wants its sides to be separated in the 16 opening round groups of three teams, with the top two advancing to a 32-team knockout phase under plans approved by FIFA last month.
Asia are expected to get eight to nine places, compared to 4-1/2 now, and South America, which has 10 member countries, a total of six, also up from 4-1/2.
The Concacaf region, made up of the Caribbean, Central and North American countries, would get 6-1/2 places, compared to 3-1/2, with Oceania, the small Pacific Islands confederation, having one automatic place at the finals instead of 1/2.
Inter-continental playoffs between countries with 1/2 a place would determine the additional spots at the finals.
