FIFA president Gianni Infantino has reiterated that the proposed move to a 48-team World Cup from 2026 has support from around the globe.
Infantino is quoted by the BBC as saying federations are "overwhelmingly in favour" of the move. He had already revealed earlier this month that the proposal to expand the tournament to 48 nations had received large support.
On Friday, FIFA research concluded that the best and most profitable way to expand the World Cup is to 48 teams, comprised of 16 three-team groups with the top two going through to a regular round-of-32 knockout format.
