FIFA leadership is publicly discussing the prospect of expanding the World Cup. FIFA president Gianni Infantino has indicated that another expansion could be on the table, and FIFA vice president Alejandro Domínguez supports moving toward a larger tournament as early as the 2030 edition. Both outlets examine what a 64-team World Cup could look like if that concept advances from discussion to proposal.
The coverage focuses on the implications of increasing the number of participating teams and how host arrangements might work under an expanded format. One article frames the idea as potentially involving six host countries, in line with the logistical complexity that would come with more teams and matches. The other focuses more generally on how a 64-team tournament could be structured and scheduled.
While neither source presents a final approved plan, they collectively describe the current FIFA debate around expansion, the potential timeline tied to 2030, and the need to define the tournament’s competitive structure and hosting model if FIFA moves forward.
