FIFA is considering a proposal to expand the 2030 World Cup from 48 to 64 teams to mark the tournament's centenary. This idea, introduced by officials from Uruguay, has gained attention from FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who has called for further analysis. The 2030 World Cup will already be a historic event, with matches planned across six countries on three continents: Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
Expanding to 64 teams would effectively double the size of the tournament compared to previous editions. However, such an increase would bring logistical challenges, including a longer tournament duration and the potential environmental impact due to increased travel. Critics have raised concerns about how this expansion could affect the quality of competition and complicate the qualification process.
FIFA has acknowledged the proposal and will conduct a thorough review to assess its feasibility and implications. A decision is expected in the coming months.
