The 2030 World Cup will be hosted on three continents
FIFA is reportedly considering the idea of a one-off, 64-team World Cup in 2030 to commemorate the centenary of the tournament, which would mark the second consecutive expansion of the tournament.
The idea was introduced towards the end of a recent FIFA meeting by Ignacio Alonso, a delegate from Uruguay who read a prepared speech in English, per The New York Times. While others in attendance at the virtual meeting were reportedly shocked by the proposal, FIFA president Gianni Infantino took an interest and said the idea should be studied in more detail.
Alonso's proposal is expected to be met with resistance, much as FIFA's previous pitch of holding the World Cup every two years rather than its current timeline of every four years. A committee was formed to explore that idea but after a year, their work quietly came to a close.
