Jordaan, head of the South African bid, said at Football Expo that it was time the World Cup was given to an African nation to help level out the economic inequalities between the different continental confederations.
"Is the World Cup the private property of just one continent?" he asked before warning that if Europe continued to enjoy hosting the World Cup every other time "almost on a home and away basis" that it would leave the other continents as little more than development centres for Europe.
"We supply the talented players who go to Europe and that would be it," he said. "This is an opportunity for equality and it would be in the best interests of the World Cup itself, too.
"It will prevent the World Cup being dominated by the Europeans, help prevent them from winning it easily and making it predictable and it will keep it competitive and add value.
"It must be rotated around the continents so we all have an equal and fair chance. Football is a global industry underpinned by a global calendar."
He said that if a World Cup was held in Africa the warm-up matches alone would help to generate much-needed revenue to help bridge the gap between the African income levels and those of European clubs.
He said that English Premier League club Manchester United alone generated more sponsorship revenue than the whole of Africa.
Morocco, England, Germany, South Africa and Brazil are bidding to host the 2006 tournament.
