Infantino Announces Discussion on Increasing World Cup Teams to 64 After the Tournament
The president of the International Football Association (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, proposed studying the possibility of increasing the number of teams participating in the World Cup to 64 starting from the 2030 edition, following the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup to be held in North America. He emphasized that FIFA will discuss this proposal after the current tournament ends, aiming to provide greater opportunities for smaller nations to participate and to promote their development, despite widespread opposition from some European and North American federations. This proposal comes amid controversy over its impact on the value of qualifiers and the balance of hosting the tournament between continents.
