Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Ahmad Ahmad has now been issued a visa to enter the United States for this week’s FIFA Council meetings after allegedly being initially denied entry.

Ahmad missed the opening session of the two-day meeting which began on Thursday but has now been granted Visa in a new statement from CAF.

Among the topics for discussion in Miami are a possible expansion to the 2022 World Cup as well as fundamental changes to the Club World Cup competition.
