FIFA is discussing the possibility of expanding the World Cup to 40 teams.
As part of wide-ranging reforms aimed at saving the reputation of the football’s governing body, FIFA will debate expanding the World Cup from 32 to 40 teams.
The proposal will be debated later on Thursday afternoon.
The change can be approved by FIFA’s executive committee without consent from the 209 member associations, and could come into effect from 2026.
