FIFA to expand World Cup to 64 teams
The article discusses FIFA's plan to expand the Men's World Cup from 48 to 64 teams starting with the 2030 edition. FIFA aims to appoint an independent agency to assess market acceptance and the impact of this expansion on the football ecosystem, focusing on commercial aspects, the risk of oversaturation, match scheduling, and implementation costs. Proposals will be received and analyzed between August and September 2023 to determine whether the expansion promotes global participation and adds value or causes fragmentation and challenges that negatively affect the sporting system.
