|April 12, 2025
The head of South American football’s governing body CONMEBOL called on FIFA to expand the 2030 World Cup to 64 nations on Thursday in a one-off gesture as the tournament celebrates its 100th anniversary.
-
In opening remarks to CONMEBOL's 80th Congress, president Alejandro Dominguez said increasing the number of teams in the tournament would allow for a broader celebration of the World Cup.
The 2030 World Cup will already make history, with the tournament organised as a sprawling epic spanning six countries in three continents.
The bulk of the games in what is planned to be a 48-team event will be shared by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with the three opening games of the tournament being split by Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay ~-the hosts of the first World Cup in 1930.
