FIFA reviews possible 64-team format
The International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) has approved a study to explore the possibility of increasing the number of teams participating in the 2030 World Cup from 48 to 64 teams, in celebration of the tournament's centennial anniversary. The study, which will deliver its results on September 11, will assess the impact of this increase on competition, the match schedule, costs, and potential revenues from tickets, sponsorships, and broadcast rights. Particular attention will be given to whether the benefits will be sustainable and add value to the competition. The proposals include hosting the tournament in countries like Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. With a 64-team format, it is expected that more nations will have the opportunity to participate in the festivities.
