FIFA president Gianni Infantino is exploring the possibility of expanding the World Cup to 64 teams by 2030, following the current 48-team tournament. In an interview, he emphasized the importance of allowing all nations to dream of participating, citing the growing quality of teams worldwide. The 2030 World Cup will be co-hosted by Portugal, Spain, and Morocco, with additional matches in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay to celebrate its centennial. However, expansion has faced criticism from various football governing bodies concerned about its impact on the tournament’s quality and qualifying process.
