Mohammed Polo: World Cup expansion a blessing for Africa
Mohammed Polo has thrown his support behind FIFA's decision to expand the World Cup to 48 teams. He believes the move addresses concerns over Africa's limited representation. Polo said, "I think it's good because if you look at the opportunities that have been given to Africa, I think it's a blessing."
The expansion was approved in 2017 and will come into effect at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Polo argued that the previous 32-team format limited Africa's presence. He suggested, "Africans were marginalised." He also said, "If you look at the teams that we played with, think about those days; these teams cannot stand us."
Ghana have been drawn in Group L alongside Panama, England and Croatia, making their fifth appearance.
