Concacaf president and AFC president opposed the idea of expanding the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams, following a proposal put forth by Conmebol. The expansion, already critiqued by various football bodies, would double the number of matches played compared to the current format. The controversial move faces logistical challenges and concerns over potential chaos in the tournament, as expressed by key figures like Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin. The proposal may be further discussed at the upcoming Fifa Congress.
