FIFA reviews 64-team World Cup plan
The International Federation of Football (FIFA) is aiming to increase the number of participating teams in the World Cup from 48 to 64 starting from the 2030 edition, in celebration of the tournament’s centenary. In a plan that could change the tournament’s format, FIFA intends to appoint an independent body to assess the impact of this expansion, as its report indicated that the increase could affect the organization of the event. The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) has proposed hosting the next edition with 64 teams to enhance opportunities for more nations, following the 2026 version, which featured 48 teams, 12 groups, and 100 matches over more than five weeks.
