CONCACAF made its announcement Friday, although FIFA does not appear to have announced each confederation’s allocation of berths and the president of the South American confederation CONMEBOL has proposed expanding the tournament yet again to 64 nations.

CONCACAF said Friday that qualifying will start in September 2027 with its teams ranked 14th through 35th playing a home-and-home, total-goals first round.
