Infantino open to increasing World Cup teams to 64
The President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, proposed expanding the number of teams participating in the World Cup to 64 teams, following the current edition which saw an increase from 32 to 48 teams. He confirmed that the idea would be feasible after the end of the 2026 World Cup, with the goal of providing more opportunities for teams from all around the world and fulfilling the fans' dream, while maintaining the current qualification system where the top two teams from each group advance. He added that this new expansion would require playing 128 matches, compared to 104 matches currently, with the 2030 edition still being hosted across multiple countries.
