I’m disappointed but not surprised that CONMEBOL isn’t on this list, but where is CAF? I can’t imagine this plan doing anything good for Africa

Uefa’s initial condemnation of Fifa’s plan to “sell the soul” of football has received strong backing from Concacaf – the North Central American and Caribbean confederation – and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and if their members follow their lead there should be sufficient votes to block the proposal.

What if the UEFA just started their own world cup?
