On July 12, Beijing time, FIFA President Infantino once again discussed the expansion of the World Cup in an interview with the media, believing that it is 100% correct to expand the tournament to 48 teams. He said that the 48-team competition model was a huge success. Every team showed a high level, and teams from all continents scored goals and scored at least one point. Nine out of ten African teams advance to the knockout tournament. At the last World Cup, Africa had only five teams. This just shows how important it is for all teams to participate, and they should be given the chance to participate. Infantino mentioned that some people are already saying that the number of teams should be increased to 64. He believes that this is definitely an issue that can be considered and discussed by the relevant committee after this World Cup. He stressed that the World Cup is for the whole world, not just Europe and South America, but really for the whole world. Every country should be allowed to dream of participating in the World Cup.
