BERLIN (Reuters) - Europe wants 16 places at the expanded 48-team 2026 World Cup finals, Aleksander Ceferin, the president of the continent's soccer organisation UEFA, said on Thursday. The game's governing body, FIFA, decided last month to add 16 teams at the finals with a first round of 16 groups of three. FIFA is expected to confirm the quotas for each continental governing body at meetings in Bahrain in May. UEFA said part of the reforms approved by the executive committee was the "introduction of term limits for the UEFA President and members of the UEFA Executive Committee, with the possibility to serve for a maximum of three four-year terms." Other changes include granting two member positions on its Executive Committee to representatives of the European Club Association (ECA).
