‘Odds stacked against African teams’

Otto Addo believes African teams deserve more places at the World Cup. No African team has ever reached the quarter-finals at a World cup. 13 of the 32 teams present in Qatar come from Europe, 6 from Asia, 4 from South America and 4 each from CONCACAF. Senegal are the only African side to have won a match at this World Cups. Ghana lost their opening game 3-2 to Portugal. Adde apologises for his post-match comments.
