UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin says the 2026 World Cup expansion makes games less interesting, sparking backlash from football officials and fans worldwide. Ceferin argued that increasing the tournament to 48 teams would boost global participation, while several federation heads dismissed the claim as a decline in quality.
Representatives from South America and Africa warned that inexperienced newcomers could render the group stage dull. FIFA officials countered that the expansion will grow the sport’s audience and bring more revenue.
The controversy has prompted a series of meetings among football governing bodies ahead of the tournament’s opening matches.
