FIFA Considers Major World Cup Format Expansion to Include More Teams

FIFA is considering expanding the World Cup format to 64 teams from its current 48-team structure amid complaints from fans and commentators following the 2026 tournament in the US. A potential expansion could lead to more participation for smaller nations. The question on everyone's mind is whether the US should be a permanent host nation. This would involve redesigning existing stadiums to accommodate the additional teams, which is a complex and costly undertaking.
