World Cup expanded to 48 teams


Fifa today voted to expand the World Cup from its current format of 32 teams.
There were five proposals on the table, from which Fifa’s 37-member council voted unanimously to increase the tournament to 48 nations.
The expansion plan was led by new Fifa president Gianni Infantino. You can see their motivation, their own report suggests revenue will increase to £5.29bn – producing a rise in profits of £521m.
