The proposal to expand the 2030 World Cup from 48 to 64 teams is being discussed in FIFA. The idea was voiced by a delegate from Uruguay, who suggested increasing the number of tournament participants to commemorate the centenary of the championship. FIFA President Gianni Infantino called the proposal interesting and noted that it would be subjected to careful analysis. However, other FIFA members might not support this idea.
