FIFA world cup will expand the men’s World Cup from 32 to 48 teams starting with the 2026 edition. The World Cup has expanded three times before, most recently in 1998 when the field moved from 24 to 32 teams.
The new format will have 16 groups of three teams each with the top two teams from each group moving to a 32-team knockout phase. As per game experts, revenues for FIFA could jump by $1 billion with the 16 extra games.
The United States could also host the first 48-team tournament. With continental rotation playing a role in the selection of host nations, the US is among the favourites to host the 2026 tournament.
