FIFA president Sepp Blatter wants to see the success of African football, and is hopeful and confident one of the African nations will make the World Cup semi-finals.
"I do hope that with all the power of Africa behind them, we'll see an African team in the semi-finals," Blatter said. "And if they get to the semi-finals then why not go higher to the final.
"But the problem is numbers. Europe have 13 teams, so it is easier for them to ensure some representation in the later rounds.
"Nowadays everybody can beat anybody. We saw many surprises come out in the latest round of World Cup qualifiers."
