Former Italy midfielder Fulvio Collovati, who won the 1982 World Cup, criticizes FIFA president Gianni Infantino for FIFA’s plan to expand the World Cup to 48 teams. According to reports, Collovati delivers a strongly worded response, saying Infantino should be ashamed and characterizing the expanded tournament as a “joke.” The criticism centers on FIFA’s decision-making around the format change, with Collovati arguing that the expansion reflects poorly on the governing body’s approach. The reports frame his remarks as part of a broader debate over the merits of enlarging the World Cup field and how it may affect the competition’s integrity and structure. Both outlets report the same core claims: Collovati’s status as the 1982 winner, his personal attack on Infantino, and his negative judgment of the expanded 48-team concept. The statements are presented as Collovati’s reaction to FIFA’s reform agenda rather than as a proposal for an alternative format.
