Fifa President Gianni Infantino has suggested expanding the World Cup to 64 teams to give smaller countries more chances to participate. While some regional football leaders oppose the idea, arguing it could harm the competition and the sport’s overall balance, others support it as a way to include more nations and create a simpler tournament format.
Key Facts
Gianni Infantino has been Fifa president for 10 years and supports expanding the World Cup.
The current World Cup hosts are Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, with some games in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay for the 2030 centenary.
Conmebol, the South American football group, requested a 64-team tournament to have more matches.
UEFA, Concacaf, and AFC leaders have criticized the idea, saying it could cause problems for the sport.
A 64-team tournament would have 16 groups with 4 teams each, and the top two teams from each group would advance.
Smaller nations like Cape Verde have shown they can compete, but many debut teams perform poorly in the group stage.
Adding more teams could bring in countries that would not usually qualify under the current system.
The World Cup expansion decision will be made by the 37-member FIFA Council.
