FIFA: most African countries don't have safe stadia

In a worrying sign for African soccer fans, FIFA says that only most of the countries on the continent do not have stadiums safe enough to host World Cup qualifiers. The sport's international governing body inspected venues in 50 countries and found only 18 nations had stadiums that met its safety standards.

FIFA also launched a project to install the hideous artificial turf in at least one stadium in each African country.
