Concacaf President Criticizes 64-team World Cup Plans for 2030

Concacaf, led by president Victor Montagliani, opposes the 64-team expansion proposal for the 2030 World Cup, along with Uefa and the AFC. The tournament will span six nations and three continents, with Spain, Morocco, and Portugal hosting the bulk of the matches following the opening games in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The 2026 World Cup, set to feature 48 teams across the US, Mexico, and Canada, was previously expanded from the traditional 32-team format. The 2030 expansion proposal by Conmebol has drawn criticism for potentially disrupting the football ecosystem, with concerns raised about the impact on players, national teams, and club competitions.
