FIFA Considers Historic Expansion to 64 Teams for 2030 World Cup
FIFA is reportedly considering expanding the World Cup to 64 teams for the 2030 edition, a move that could make it the largest tournament ever. The proposal, submitted by South American football body CONMEBOL, aims to mark the tournament's centenary.
The potential expansion would surpass the upcoming 2026 World Cup format. The plan involves a longer match schedule and potentially multiple hosts across different continents.
However, the proposal faces strong opposition, with UEFA's Aleksander Čeferin criticizing it as a bad idea that could dilute the tournament's quality and create logistical challenges. FIFA is analyzing the feasibility before making a final decision.
