LastMumu: In that case, FIFA would also have to reduce its stadium size requirement. A 45,000 capacity stadium hosting Togo vs North Korea would be barely 5% full, lol. FIFA would have to mandate, say, a minimum capacity of between 25,000-30,000 for group matches. |

CFCman: Op, ur information is incorrect, I wonder the kind of mod that push this to front page, Seun , Lalasticlala take note, FIFA president said "there would be 16 groups of 3 teams, with top two teams per group advancing to the round of 16.... This is wat he actually said : FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced plans for a 48-team World Cup, split into groups of three sides each. It is not the first time Infantino has suggested expanding the tournament, but previously it was expected to include 40 nations rather than 48. The idea of playing groups containing only three teams compared to the traditional four is also a new concept. Currently the World Cup has 32 teams, but Infantino wants 16 groups of three squads, the top two of each group going into the knockout matches. There will be a decision on this suggested format on January 9. Even if it does get the go-ahead, it is unlikely to be implemented before the 2026 World Cup. The last time the World Cup was expanded was in 1998, when it increased from 24 to 32 countries. From reliable source http://app.football-italia.net/index.htm#article/footballitalia-95380&menu=news-all according to what I heard, there will be elimination round(32), first round (16),quarter finals ( and so on.... 32 will qualify from the groups,where first wil play second place, both it will be go by wat u said, there is be no second and first places will just play each other which isn't wise... 1 Like |

CFCman: Is 45,000 currently the minimum stadium capacity allowed by FIFA for the World Cup? |

The truth is Europe has too many teams let him deal with that and stop trying to deceive people |
Re: Gianni Infantino Wants A 48-Team World Cup by Nobody: 10:41pm On Dec 07, 2016 |
LordCenturion: From your source, if 2 teams advance from each group (across 16 groups), that equals 32 teams, not 16. 1 Like |

Sorry but what's Haiti n oceania gonna do at the world cup? It's bad enough we have to watch them at confed cups. What will asian nations go and do there? We know say korea-japan na fluke What will african teams go and do there? Maybe one or two will 'surprise' us once in 16 years.

LorDBolton: Exactly. I think FIFA would allocate the additional 16 places as follows: UEFA 7, CONMEBOL 5, Africa 2, Asia 2. It's a ploy to both appease Europe and South America, and the Asian and African nations. To me, FIFA should first go with an expansion to 40 teams. There should be 10 groups of 4 teams, with the top 3 in each group and the 'best' 2 bottom teams advancing to the Round of 32. |

are you serious ? |
Re: Gianni Infantino Wants A 48-Team World Cup by LorDBolton(m): 11:14pm On Dec 07, 2016 |
CFCman: It just makes it cumbersome(imo) For example using ur projections conmebol wouldn't need to hold qualifiers again since presently have 4 spots with 1 a playoff against oceania / asian nations so and additional 5 means automatic qualification for all 10 nations in conmebol Infact i'd like to see how such crap this infantino is proposing scales thru. 2 Likes |
Re: Gianni Infantino Wants A 48-Team World Cup by Nobody: 11:20pm On Dec 07, 2016 |
LorDBolton: Well, it would be ridiculous if South American teams are given automatic WC qualification. So, maybe it would be just 2 additional places for them. Then Asia would have one more guaranteed spot. |

CFCman: This means that several teams would travel to the world cup host country to play just two matches. I don't think this is a very good idea. |

LastMumu:Bro sorry . Though Nairaland is not the appropriate place to express your frustrations and disappointment as regards African teams in the world cup over the years. Howbeit, Increasing the number will at least provide the opportunity for new African teams to participate in the competition for the first time. The inability of African teams to perform at the world cup is not the fault of FIFA . so carry your pains elsewhere . Doh...i can imagine your pains. |

that's a very nice move.....20 from European countries,10 from South American countries and the rest frm other continent Europeans and south Americans are the heart of world cup so we need more countries from them |

better ideal |
Re: Gianni Infantino Wants A 48-Team World Cup by teemy(m): 7:25am On Dec 08, 2016 |
one advantage of 3 teams at the group stage is that only two matches would be played and thus reduce player fatigue such as the one that leads to loss of life. the recent death could have influenced it. furthermore, more countries would get exposure. |
