Its not just to expand it...how will the qualification look like now
It's even simpler now. The groups will be made up of 16 groups with 3 teams slugging it out for 1 qualification, unlike the present where the winner and a runner up emerge from their group.
So by the time only one winner emerges from each group, they go into the round of 16,same as it is at present

This will either limit the number of countries that can host the event or it may lead to co-hosting.

Why is Africa getting 9 slots and Asia 8.5 while Europe 16. We have 54 countries in Africa, 48 in Asia while 50 in Europe. Why is the difference in slots that wide?

i don't buy the idea....its going to be stressful and so long (just like a league)...
it will take a longer period of time (time that will be used for other important competitions)
But on the long run...its going to be packed with fun....more matches....more victory/loses.....and most of all, all this country that use to form superman will now have to prove thier strength.....and Nigeria can finally have the hopes of qualifying...
But the greatest of all is that
THERE WILL BE MORE GAMES TO BET ON......Sure games...
it will be easier now with fewer game , group stage a team will play only two games and only group winner qualifies for next round

Wrong... It will become shorter instead cos they will move to round of 16 after just 2games instead of the normal 3game group stage before round of 16

At least nigeria will be able to qualify now

Don't underestimate the abilities of the Nigeria Super Eagles to screw up when it matters most.

Also, do not forget that, clueless Mr. Solomon Dalung is still the Sport Minister.

back in the days of geography, we were taught that there were seven continents in the world.
why should Europe have 16 I think they deserve more slot like maybe 18-20 because I don't see why Asia that can't play football get 8.5 slot when this is not cricket or gymnastics.
Nigeria will be free from permutation towards qualification. hoping to see these nine African countries; Egypt, Tunisia, Zambia, Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Côte De voire, Nigeria & Senegal.

Africa get 9 slots for expanded 2026 World Cup

The expanded 48-team World Cup approved by world football governing body FIFA today will see Africa now getting nine slots, four more than they currently enjoy.

An initial stage of 16 groups of three teams will precede a knockout stage for the remaining 32 when the change is made for the 2026 tournament.

The sport's world governing body voted unanimously in favour of the change at a meeting in Zurich today.

In the expanded tournament, Europe will now have 16 teams, three more than what they have now, while South America will now get six automatic slots, upwards from the four automatic and one playoff places.

Asia have four extra spots with eight automatic and a playoff, while Concacaf get six automatic and a playoff slots.

Oceania and host country will have a slot each.

World Cup places by continents

Europe...16 (13 at present)

Africa...9 (5 )

Asia...8.5 (4.5)

South America ...6 (4.5)

Concacaf...6.5 (3.5)

Oceania...1 (0.5)

Host country...1

This expansion makes sense only that it would result in the group stage matches being boring as people would naturally focus on the 32-team knockout.

there are plans to introduce penalty shootout in the group matches to avoid teams playing out draw for mutual benefits
