FIFA is indeed considering the possibility of increasing the number of participating national teams for the next World Cup. This information has been circulating for several weeks.
As of now, however, FIFA has made no official decision regarding this change. But this is the first time such an influential figure in football has stated so clearly that the World Cup will be played with 64 teams.
The 2030 FIFA World Cup will take place across six host countries on three continents.
Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay will each host a symbolic opening match.
The bulk of the tournament will then be played in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
