2026 World Cup's Historic Expansion
The 2026 World Cup, hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will see a significant increase in the number of participating teams to 48, the largest in the tournament's history. This expansion comes as part of a new format that includes dividing the teams into 12 groups of four teams each, with the top two from each group along with the eight best third-placed teams qualifying for the round of 32. A total of 104 matches will be played over 40 days, featuring a new knockout stage system. Some experts fear that this expansion may impact the competitive and technical level of the tournament.
