Ghana head coach Otto Addo believes the chances of an African team reaching the latter stages of the World Cup will remain limited until the continent is awarded more places at the tournament.
Only three sides from the continent have ever progressed to the quarter-finals; Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002, and Ghana in 2010.
Speaking on the eve of Ghana's second group game against South Korea on Monday. the 47-year-old said Africa, with 54 teams, deserved more slots.
“There was never a point where everybody had an equal chance at the start. Never in FIFA history,” coach Otto Addo said in Doha.
“It’s very, very difficult if you have five slots to get far. If you have 12 or 14 slots — I don’t know how many Europe gets — the probability that a team will get further is much, much higher.”
Ghana will have to beat South Korea to stand a chance of progressing to the next stage of the competition.
The match is scheduled for the Education City stadium on Monday, November 28, 2022 at (13:00 GMT).
Black Stars are bottom of Group H following their 3-2 defeat to Portugal in their opening game at the World Cup.
