World Cup towards expansion to 64 teams, "confirmation" arrives

Discussions about the future of the World Cup have entered a new phase, as the idea of ??a 64-team World Cup seems closer to reality than ever before. With the 2026 World Cup now over, attention has shifted to the 2030 edition, which will also mark the 100th anniversary of international football's most important competition.

CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez has come out in support of expanding the tournament. In a statement posted on social media, he said the 2030 World Cup, which will be held in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay, represents a unique opportunity to host a 64-team competition.

According to Dominguez, this format would be a way to celebrate a century of World Cup history and give more countries the opportunity to participate in football's biggest stage. His statement was seen by many media outlets as a clear signal that South America will continue to press for further expansion of the competition.

"The next edition will be played at home. In 2030, the World Cup will be held in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. A great opportunity for football, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the World Cup with a competition with 64 teams," these words seem like an official announcement, considering that Dominguez himself is one of the big supporters of the expanded World Cup.
