"The case for Africa is overwhelming," Salim Ahmed Salim, secretary general of the OAU told a meeting of African ambassadors in the Ethiopian capital.
Salim declined to endorse either the bid of South Africa or Morocco - both of whom have applied to gost the cup, saying:
"It doesn't matter which African country is hosting the game, what matters is that it should be held in Africa."
The decision to award the World Cup will be made in Zurich on July 6. The other bidding countries are England, Germany and Brazil.
