It ends a 24-year run of 32-team World Cups dating back to 1998. That affects the tournament schedule, as it means we have a group stage consisting of 12 groups of four teams, followed by the knockout stage that has an extra round: starting with the round of 32, and continuing with the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.At the end of the group stage, the top two teams in each group will automatically progress to the knockouts, as well as the eight third-placed teams with the best record. For those hoping to be crowned world champions, it means winning one more match than in the past, with eight games rather than seven standing between them and the famous trophy.Today's venue: Gillette Stadium Getty ImagesGillette Stadium, FoxboroughToday's venue is usually known as Gillette Stadium, after the shaving brand that holds the naming rights but due to FIFA’s commercial regulations, it will be referred to as Boston Stadium during the World Cup even though it is not located directly in Boston.It actually sits almost 30 miles southwest in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and is home most famously to New England Patriots in the NFL and New England Revolution in MLS.It holds 65,000 fans as standard with the possibility to expand capacity to 68,000 for certain events.Subscribe to The Athletic!
