Sepp Blatter: Africa Needs More World Cup Slots -

FIFA President Sepp Blatter says Africa
should get more spots at the World Cup,
giving teams from the continent more
chances to win the tournament.
For the 2014 World Cup, 53 European
nations have been competing for 13 spots
at the tournament. But the 54-nation
Confederation of African Football will have
five teams in Brazil, and Blatter says the
continent is "woefully under-represented at
the World Cup."
Blatter says that "as long as this remains
the case, African sides may never win an
intercontinental trophy, regardless of
progress on the playing side. This flawed
state of affairs must be rectified."
Writing in FIFA's new weekly magazine,
Blatter repeated a call for the number of
guaranteed World Cup berths for Asian
teams to be increased from four.
