FIFA has confirmed the Women's World Cup will be expanded from 24 to 32 teams.
World football's governing body announced on Wednesday that the next edition of the tournament in 2023—which is yet to name a host—will feature 32 nations, and FIFA president Gianni Infantino said:
"The astounding success of this year's FIFA Women's World Cup in France made it very clear that this is the time to keep the momentum going and take concrete steps to foster the growth of women's football. I am glad to see this proposal – the first of several − becoming a reality.
