World Cup with 64 Teams Faces Debate
The "The Times" revealed that FIFA is conducting a study on the proposal to increase the number of teams participating in the 2030 World Cup from 48 to 64 teams, sparking a debate among analysts. Supporters believe that this change would provide greater opportunities for smaller nations and promote a more equitable group stage system, in addition to increasing the number of matches to around 128, which would boost the federation's financial revenues and lead to a broader global participation. Conversely, opponents argue that this increase diminishes the value of qualification, results in more weak matches, causes player fatigue, and places additional burdens on the host countries. The final decision depends on FIFA's assessment this year, pending their response to this proposal.
