A majority of football federations support increasing the number of teams playing at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar from thirty- two to forty- eight.

Speaking at a press conference after a three-day FIFA summit in the Qatari capital, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the idea had widespread backing from associations across the globe.

FIFA has said it will make its final decision in March, at its next council meeting, after the completion of a feasibility study.
