FIFA President Infantino Opens Door for Largest World Cup Expansion from 48 to 64 Teams

FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced that he is seriously considering the proposal to expand the World Cup to include 64 teams in the future, following the success of the 2026 edition hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, which saw an increase in the number of matches from 48 to 104. This expansion aims to increase the number of participating countries and enable more teams to fulfill their dream of competing in the tournament, with predictions that the total number of matches could rise to 128 if the new system is implemented. The selection for knockout stages will still be based on team rankings, with a focus on enhancing the level and diversity of global competition.
