Uefa President Opposes Fifa's Proposal to Expand 2030 World Cup to 64 Teams

Posted : 03 April 2025

Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin voiced strong opposition on Thursday to the proposal by Fifa to expand the World Cup to 64 teams for the 2030 tournament. The 2026 World Cup, set to be hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, will already see the tournament grow from 32 to 48 teams, but discussions at the Fifa Council in March raised the possibility of further increasing the number of participants.

 

Ceferin expressed his disapproval of the suggestion, labeling it "a bad idea" during Uefa's congress in Belgrade. He argued that such an expansion would negatively impact the World Cup's prestige and the qualification process, calling it a "strange" proposal that seemed to have emerged without prior consultation. He stressed that he did not support the idea and questioned its origins, noting that it was an unexpected move from Fifa.

 

The 2030 World Cup is already set to be a unique event, with matches hosted across three continents. Portugal, Spain, and Morocco will serve as the main hosts, while Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay will host a few games to commemorate the centenary of the inaugural 1930 World Cup in Uruguay. Following this, Saudi Arabia is slated to host the 2034 World Cup.
