1964 World Cup supporter camp forming

The proposal to increase the number of participating teams in the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams is gaining increasing support within FIFA, especially from the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL). The backing is driven by CONMEBOL's desire to host an exceptional edition celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the tournament, with the participation of 64 teams. It is expected that the proposal will remain under consideration after the 2026 World Cup, despite objections from the European Union. Implementing the increase in teams would require expanding support to include football associations from Africa, Asia, CONCACAF, and Oceania, in order to benefit from a larger quota in the tournaments. This could also involve increasing the number of matches from 104 to 128, potentially boosting financial returns. However, this move faces European opposition due to concerns over its impact on the quality of the tournament and the qualification process. The success of this initiative will depend on gaining the support of more associations while addressing logistical and technical challenges related to the allocation of spots and tournament organization.
