FIFA is exploring the possibility of expanding the FIFA World Cup from its current 32-team format to a 64-team tournament for the 2030 edition. The Athletic reported on this potential change, which would add 16 more national teams to the competition.

The proposed expansion aims to further break new ground in the sport. While details are still being examined, FIFA will consider how to accommodate the additional teams within the existing tournament structure. This World Cup is already historic for being the longest in history.
