FIFA RO INCREASE WORLD CUP TEAMS TO 48 TEAMS

FIFA is set to approve an expansion of the men’s World Cup with 40 more matches from the 2026 tournament in North America.
The decision to grow from 64 to 104 matches, rather than the 80 originally planned in 2026, is due to come at a meeting of the governing body’s ruling council in Kigali, Rwanda.
Rather than having 16 groups each featuring three teams, FIFA will have 12 groups each with four countries, sources say. This means that if approved the next world cup will have 48 teams up from 32 that played in the recently concluded Qatar World Cup.
