Teams
There were 48 teams contesting the 2026 tournament but there is a chance the 2030 World Cup will be expanded to 64 teams.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has stated that he would consider the expansion and CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez announced that the tournament would feature 64 teams.
Domínguez said: "We are working to ensure that the 2030 World Cup is held with 64 national teams in homage to the Centenary of the World Cup.
International football grows when it opens up to the world. The expansion to 48 teams demonstrated that greater participation generates more opportunities, boosts the development of football, and turns the World Cup into a true global celebration.
The Centenary offers us a historic opportunity to Dream Big. May the World Cup be the greatest celebration that football has ever known."

Qualification
The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) announced their qualifying campaign will begin in September–October 2027 and conclude in June 2028 and the September–October 2029.
UEFA announced a new qualification format, a two-tier process where the big nations will no longer play minor teams. The 36 highest-ranked countries will be drawn into three groups of 12 in League 1 and play six games against six different opponents.
History
FIFA, world football's governing body, launched the World Cup after being inspired by the success of the Olympics' football tournament.
The inaugural World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930 and has been held every four years except 1942 and 1946 due to World War II.
The tournament was expanded to 24 teams in 1982 and to 32 teams in 1998, allowing more teams from Africa, Asia and North America to take part.
The 2022 World Cup took place in Qatar, the first World Cup to be held in the Arab world and Muslim world. The tournament was played in November and December because of Qatar's intense summer heat.
The 2026 World Cup was the first to feature 48 teams and the first to be held in three countries.
