On October 14th, Beijing time, according to the British media outlet BBC, FIFA is considering expanding the World Cup format in 2026. BBC journalist Richard Conway has just revealed on Twitter that FIFA is considering increasing the number of teams in the World Cup finals to 40 or even 48. Earlier, there were reports that the 2026 World Cup would see an expansion to 48 teams, but not all of them would compete in the group stage; instead, the current two-stage format – namely the group stage and the knockout stage – would be replaced by a three-stage format: single-elimination matches, group rounds, and the round of 16. Richard Conway wrote on Twitter: “Inzaghi said that ‘options of 32, 40, or 48 teams for the 2026 World Cup are all under consideration,’ with the latter two options likely being the main ones being considered.” ” If 16 more teams are added, under the current allocation system, Asia should receive at least 3 spots, which would also help the Chinese team to qualify and earn more support from **and member associations.
Fight or go back! If the quota is expanded to 7 in Asia, it’s likely to be quite difficult to get in; football experts should still be in charge of football!
Let the football people handle football! It’s always been like this; this is a trap
Asia should get at least 3 spots, which will also help the Chinese team qualify. Is qualification useful? ;P
Introducing black genes is quick, but the national aesthetic standards aren’t aligned with that~~； How about simply granting some blacks Chinese citizenship?
This is racial discrimination; it’s extremely extreme.
