They have identified China, Qatar and USA with 3 to 4 slots for countries from oversees in a format which will see the number of teams participating in the tournament’s final phase increase from 16 to 24.
The proposal is expected to be adopted in Caf’s Executive Committee meeting scheduled for Thursday July 20.
