This was said at the just-ended Fifa/Caf Conference held in Johannesburg to review the Women’s World Cup held in Germany this July. Mighty Warriors’ coach Rosemary Mugadza and Zifa technical advisor Nelson Matongorere attended the workshop.

“Fifa said they would be increasing women’s teams participating at World Cup from 16 to 24 which means African countries would be getting more slots.
