CONMEBOL President Confirms 2030 World Cup Team Increase
It is expected that the 2030 World Cup will feature 64 teams, coinciding with the centenary of the tournament's inception in 1930, according to statements by the president of CONMEBOL, the South American Football Confederation. Although FIFA has not officially approved a change in the number of participating teams yet, officials are focused on the fact that expansion would increase opportunities for participation and make the centenary celebration a bigger global event. The expansion is likely to require modifications to the tournament format and an increase in the number of matches, while some Europeans and Asians oppose the idea due to concerns over increased match congestion and organizational burdens.
