FIFA eyes expanding 2030 World Cup to 64 teams — China is the reason

FIFA is reportedly set to discuss expanding the 2030 World Cup field to 64 teams, more than double the current 32-team format. The key motivation appears to be ensuring China qualifies, which would bring enormous commercial benefits. The 2026 edition already expands to 48 teams, making a 2030 jump to 64 an even bigger step.
