FIFA President Gianni Infantino has hinted that Morocco, Portugal and Spain could host a much larger 2030 FIFA World Cup than originally planned.
Speaking to Swiss media outlet Bluewin, Infantino said FIFA will evaluate increasing the competition from the 48-team format that debuts in 2026 to 64 teams after the next World Cup.
The proposed expansion could significantly alter plans for the centenary edition of the tournament, which will be jointly hosted by Morocco, Portugal and Spain.
Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay are currently scheduled to host one opening match each before the tournament shifts to Europe and North Africa.
