FIFA shelved a proposed expansion of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to 48 teams on Wednesday, dealing a blow to the world football body’s president Gianni Infantino.

The 2022 tournament in the Gulf state will now be played with 32 nations taking part.

FIFA said it had abandoned the expansion plans “following a thorough and comprehensive consultation process” which led to the conclusion that “under the current circumstances such a proposal could not be made now”. “(The tournament) will, therefore, remain as originally planned with 32 teams and no proposal will be submitted at the next FIFA Congress on 5 June,” FIFA said in a statement.

Qatar never planned for a 48 teams Fifa tournament. so if they had implemented it, 2022 world cup would possibly be one of the worst Fifa world cup tournament due to poor planning.

Out of the 5 representatives that went to 2018 WC, zero qualified for the next round shocked ... I don’t think adding Djibouti or Ghana will make a difference grin

Even if Qatar were ready, 48 teams are probably too many for the world cup. The quality of the games would be compromised.
