Fifa president Gianni Infantino has proposed expanding the World Cup finals to 48 teams – after initially suggesting he wanted to boost it to 40.
According to the 46-year-old Italian, 16 countries would be eliminated after a preliminary knockout round.
The rest of the tournament would then be the same as it is now, with 32 teams competing in the group stages, followed by further knockout rounds.
Infantino said a decision on possible expansion would be taken in January.
What do you think of such a proposal?
48 teams, good idea or not?
