JOHANNESBURG (AP) — African football president Issa Hayatou envisions the World Cup returning to the continent in 2026, and can find no reason why it shouldn’t return to South Africa.
Hayatou said Wednesday that 2026 was the next time the tournament could return to Africa. He believes comparatively wealthy nations such as Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria and Algeria could match the stadiums, enthusiasm and infrastructure in South Africa.
The CAF president says South Africa had answered any skepticism over its ability to stage the event, and could be a bidder in 2026.
