FIFA’s executive committee outlined
new proposals at the news
conference held in Zurich yesterday,
including making sure there are at
least six women on the newly-
devised FIFA council, limiting
presidential terms to a maximum of
three and increasing the World Cup
to 40 teams.
The proposal to increase the
tournament by eight sides is on the
agenda for the executive committee
as part of a package of reforms for
the world governing body.
The move would mean an extra 32
matches in the group stage, adding
another week to the 31-day
tournament. It would take the total
number of matches to 96 and would
come into force for the 2026
competition.
According to Sky Sports, the plan
could see eight groups of five teams,
with the top two qualifying for the
last-16 knockout round.
