ASUNCION - The head of South American football's governing body Conmebol on April 10 called on FIFA to expand the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams in a one-off gesture to mark the tournament's 100th anniversary.
In opening remarks at Conmebol's 80th Congress, its president Alejandro Dominguez said increasing the number of teams in the tournament would allow for a broader celebration of the event.
The 2030 World Cup will already make history, with the tournament organised as a sprawling epic spanning six countries in three continents.
