Africa will get a third berth in the 1994 World Cup, at the expense of Europe, the head of soccer’s ruling body said Wednesday.

Joao Havelange, president of FIFA, credited Cameroon’s success this summer for the change.

“Africa will automatically get one more place,” Havelange said in an interview published in La Gazzetta Dello Sport. “It deserves it. That place will be taken away from Europe.”
