Today on sports news, Football’s world governing body FIFA has approved the expansion of the Women’s World Cup from the existing twenty-four teams to thirty-two for the 2023 edition. Also FIFA president, Gianni Infantino has said that world football’s governing body is discussing the feasibility of expanding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to forty-eight teams. It would be recalled that the World Cup finals have been played with a thirty-two-side format since 1998, and the addition of sixteen extra countries has long been planned for the 2026 edition. But Infantino has hinted in recent months that the expansion could be brought forward, and confirmed yesterday that it may go ahead in Qatar, although admitted that some matches may need to be staged in neighbouring countries.
