FIFA is weighing a bold expansion of the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams in honor of the tournament’s centennial, up from 48 teams in 2026. The proposal, backed by Uruguay and others, would stretch the event across six continents—part of a plan already set to begin in South America and Africa. But critics question the strain on scheduling, travel, and player rest. Football leaders in CONMEBOL appear supportive, seeing the expansion as a symbol of global unity and ambition. A final decision has yet to be made, but its implications could reshape world soccer’s competitive landscape.
