FIFA is considering expanding the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams to commemorate the tournament’s 100th anniversary. This proposal was introduced by Ignacio Alonso, president of the Uruguayan Football Association and a FIFA Council member, during a recent meeting.

The 2030 World Cup is already set to be unique, with Spain, Portugal, and Morocco as the main hosts, and additional matches in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay to honor the inaugural 1930 tournament held in Uruguay.

The idea to further expand the tournament has caused different reactions. Some football figures have shown concerns, labeling the proposal as “madness,” while FIFA President Gianni Infantino acknowledged it as an interesting idea worth further analysis.

Expanding to 64 teams would present significant logistical challenges, including extending the tournament duration to at least six weeks and increasing the number of matches to 128.

This expansion could also impact qualification tournaments, potentially reducing their appeal to broadcasters and fans. Additionally, environmental concerns have been raised due to the increased travel and resources required for a larger tournament.
