64th World Cup's economic impact

The International Football Association (FIFA) is studying the expansion of the World Cup in the future to include 64 teams after the 2026 edition, aiming to better represent all continents and increase fairness in participation. This increase would lead to more matches, rising from 104 to 128, with the possibility of extending the tournament duration and presenting significant logistical challenges, especially if hosted across multiple countries. It is believed that the expansion will impact the sports economy by reducing the value of qualifying matches and increasing reliance on FIFA’s resources, alongside higher financial costs for infrastructure and clubs, as well as potential effects on players' health and the quality of competition. The future of this proposal depends on the outcomes of the 2026 World Cup and FIFA’s assessment of its success, amidst growing concerns about potential organizational and economic pressures.
