The decision on how many teams would participate in the next edition of the World Cup will be taken in March next year…
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has been batting for a 48-team World Cup for quite some time now. While the initial plan to expand the number of participants from 32 to 48 was scheduled for 2026 edition of the World Cup, the FIFA supremo has mentioned that there is a chance that the decision could be brought forward.
It must be noted that the 2022 World Cup would be played for 28 days as opposed to the original 32 day period given that the next edition would be held in the winter months of November and December.
