There can only be one World Cup winner.
48 teams are too many for one competition, which is expected to be played over a period of one month.

FIFA should consider the health of the players in the top four teams, who would have to play in eight matches instead of seven, as in previous World Cups.

Axis313:
It's obvious FIFA is doing this to generate revenue.
But the time table will be rowdy,imagine playing like six or eight group matches in a day,and some will be playing simultaneously.
it would not be too rowdy, neither would matches be up to 6 or 8 in a day the 2022 edition had like 3 in a day during the group stage so this one would be like 4 in a day, before it gets to the knockout stage.
