On Wednesday, the head of the world football governing body delivered a controversial speech at the Assembly of the Council of Europe
The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has backed the statement made by Fifa president Gianni Infantino which suggested that a biennial World Cup ‘will give hope to Africans so that they don't need to cross the Mediterranean Sea in order to find better life but more probably death in the sea’.
The statement generated arguments on social media on Wednesday but Caf explained Infantino’s thoughts after its members from various African countries called president Patrice Motsepe to support the point.
Caf, on Friday, said the idea of having the World Cup every two years instead of four will boost the economic and social upliftment of people in Africa.
