2030 World Cup to include 64 teams
Recent statements from the president of the South American Football Confederation "CONMEBOL" suggest that the 2030 World Cup could be held with 64 teams instead of 48, marking the centenary of the tournament's first edition in 1930. This reflects a shift from merely a proposal to a potential plan to celebrate the milestone, with Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay hosting celebratory matches, while the rest of the competitions would take place in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. Although FIFA has not officially approved a change in the number of participating teams yet, this proposal faces opposition from Europe and Asia due to concerns about increased match pressure, potential impacts on the quality of play, and organizational challenges. Supporters, however, advocate for the expansion to enhance global representation and the development of football worldwide.
