the world cup will last 40 ( 39 ) days. the world cup in qatar only lasted 28 days. is this a good or bad change Huh

Most people think that this is a bad change, but the reality is that I believe it is a good change. Because, world cup is a global tournament and having more teams equals to having more fun, and that means a lot more money involved and a lot more players would work hard towards showing themselves as well.

In every single world cup, we have seen players increasing their value, we just saw the most recent one and there were 100+ million spent on players that showed how great they were there as well. I think the valuation increase on players thanks to world cup is not to be considered something small, so the more players there are in world cup, the more fun we will have watching them try to prove themselves.

Judging from the geographical and weather conditions, it seems that the South American zone is very supportive for national teams from Europe, many national teams seems not comfortable when Qatar as the host of FIFA World Cup 2022 because have hot weather and changed several league schedule for World Cup matches held on at the end year.

Still not official confirmed yet with FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States will held on middle years after several European League competition ended or FIFA keep try begin like the same previous FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar, but most effective with FIFA World Cup start after all league ended around June until July not on December like in Qatar.

To be honest, I didn't hear any complaints from the participants who competed in the 2022 world cup in Qatar regarding the weather conditions. because, the organizers have designed it in such a way for the convenience of the players. plus, visitors. they've worked around this with state-of-the-art "giant air conditioning" cooling technology to keep the stadium cool. so, weather problems were not an obstacle at the 2022 world cup in Qatar. but regarding the World Cup schedule being changed, that's true. it aims, in order to overcome the extreme climate. As a result, the league schedule was disrupted. but yes, at least the 2022 world cup was successful and lively despite the many controversies surrounding it.

Of course, there wasn't any complaints from any participants or teams who competed in the recent World Cup which was held in Qatar because aside from they are getting world-class treatment and amenities, Qatar World Cup has been held in the winter season instead of summer season where regular games has been scheduled from June to July. Qatar and FIFA council has been working together to make the World Cup season-friendly so that the national teams will not be playing under the hot scorching sun in the summer.

If you ask me I can say this is not a good change for the world cup to have more teams because there will be more weak teams in the world cup, however, the positive point of this decision is to have more nations and more people being part of the world cup so there will be more people in the world they are waiting to watch their national team games but still 48 team a lot and I don't know if just Europa will get more teams or other federation.

The quality of play will drop during the first two rounds but it should not be as bad as we imagine, after all on the world cup there are always a few strong teams that for some reason or another fail to make it to the tournament, so the increase on the number of teams not only will bring weaker teams to the cup but it will also bring those strong teams as well, and this will balance things out, even if it is undeniable that now weaker teams that on the previous format will never qualify to the world cup now will have the possibility of doing so with the current format.

I am in favor of the new format. And I welcome the decision by FIFA to have 12 groups of 4 teams each (rather than the previous suggestion of having 16 groups with 3 teams each). And regarding the duration of the tournament, I guess it may not have any negative consequences as the world cup happens only once every 4 years. The 2022 FIFA World Cup was over too soon.. but then there is a counter argument that the Olympics get over in 2-3 weeks and the duration of FIFA World Cup is too long. But in order to accommodate so many teams, I feel that at least 5-6 weeks is needed.

I agree with you, when there is more than one host for the world cup the national teams have to travel between these countries, and they will have problems also whenever the teams come to a country and play a match there, they will have to have reserve hotel and get a ticket to travel another place with will take some energy and it will make the team tried while having one country hosting the games won't have these problems.

For the fans, it would mean more expenses in the form of flight ticket and multiple hotel bookings. Already the ticket rates are so expensive, and only the elite can watch the matches on ground. Imagine a fan travelling from Vancouver in Canada to Miami in the United States just to watch the matches involving his favorite team. The flight ticket alone is going to cost around $450 per head. And the few direct flights that are available will take a minimum of 6 hours (now add in time for security check and boarding). The same is applicable for fans who need to travel from Boston or New Jersey in the United States to Guadalajara in Mexico.

It is true and from there many speculations were made, because it began to be said that some sheikhs offered a very large amount of money to the Ecuadorian players, so much money that each player could fix their lives and that of their families, they just had to leave win, however, those same rumors claimed that the players did not accept.

The forceful result of the first World Cup game in Qatar left all that behind, but you are absolutely right, the hosts are those teams that have a lot of quality and it is very difficult to beat them, the truth is that sometimes these types of comments are made because they They are generated on sports channels and there they create debate and arouse some curiosity.

I am a person who always watches every special program of the World Cup and everything that is generated in the host country, and not only the World Cup, every sporting event that refers to fútbol..

I bet that was sort of true, like there was an "offer" on the table I am sure, but in the end it would be basically a risk not worth taking. What if they promised to pay you that much, you lost, and they didn't pay? What if they exposed you? Who are you going to complain to? Like are you going to go out and say "they promised us 100 million dollars and we lost but they didn't pay!!" to a judge or something? Of course not.

This is why I believe they didn't take it. In the end, I think USA for example could end up winning, they went out of the group stage, which shows that they are capable of winning, just need a weaker opponent and not some team like brazil or France.

Yes, what you say is true, in these fútbol events it should also be noted that money is handled at a very high level, many frauds have still been uncovered and the fact that corruption has always existed is something evident, without going far away, in the League they accuse that Barcelona paid the referees in a limited period of time, I think it was when Mou was in charge of Real Madrid that many said that Barcelona bought referees and it is possible that it was like that, in the World Cups without Hosts or not, they can drop any plan with technology and VAR, and although everything is quite new, it is a way to attack corruption in fútbol.

I am not sure if the experiment would be beneficial - when one country host an event they are solely responsible to take the advantage of it
How would this be helping 3 nations. It is beyond my understanding.

I am against the idea of granting hosting rights to 3-4 countries. Look at the 2022 world cup. All the matches were hosted by Qatar and the fans were also happy about the travel arrangements. During the 2026 world cup, the fans need to travel many thousands of miles to watch the matches. The venues are spread all across the North American continent, from Canada in the north to Mexico in the South. The hosts will obviously benefit, from increased tourist revenues and exposure. But for the fans, it is an exhausting task to reach the destinations on time.

I understand your reasoning and plight towards the combine hosting of the next world cup in Usa, Canada and Mexico by 2026 regarding the logistics and all the challenges you perceive around such kind of hosting but for me I believe all those logistical assumed challenges won't matter because there is a long time of planning from now towards it. The countries that are having this combine hosting are also in same locality and zone, so travelling in between them won't give such problem and majority of the games are going to be played in Usa and it is not like the teams are going to be traveling at intervals of a match, it is well organized. The benefit of this is to give a new taste to the world cup and allow more countries the feel at a go. Remember many countries are now interested in bidding to host the world cup and when the bidders are from close locality, they can possibly grouped together for that particular tournament hosting. But this will not be the first time for a FIFA world cup combine hosting. It has been tasted and was successful with Japan Korea in 2002, Brazil won the tournament for the fifth time that year

Well, the world cup is now a massive event, actually it's probably the largest sporting event in the world.

I think it's fine to have more than one country hosting it. We've had it before in Korea-Japan 2002 and it worked fine.

As the number of teams increase I think it makes sense to host it in multiple countries.

Also in these weird times we're living in, this also adds the ability to move matches around if things go wrong in one country, instead of cancelling the whole thing.

It can pretty much be hosted in one big country, especially in the USA that has all the territory and resources, idk why it's hosted by three countries. I understand that there will participate lot more teams in next event but definitely that's not the case.
Also, Canada and USA are so hard to enter for majority of people, I don't really understand for whom is this even hosted for. Will they soften visa requirements for that event? Maybe. If not, then it seems this event is exclusively for local citizens which will cause protest. But if they soften visa requirements, a lot of people will take this chance to immigrate in the USA.
I don't know what's happening there.

I think the 2030 edition of the world cup should be hosted in South America, where everything started 100 years from that day.

There are doing a joint proposal, I think it's four countries that would want to host it together. It would be amazing I think.

I guess they're waiting to see how the 2026 edition plays out to see if it works fine.

For the 2026 world cup, it's natural that there is no official confirmation yet. because, this event still has a gap of 3 years in the future. at least, before everything is confirmed, the host will make sure in advance to prepare for this once every 4 yearly event. So, yeah, just wait.

For Asian team qualify to FIFA World Cup seems dominate by the same teams national on every time World Cup, between Saudi Arabia, Australia, South Korea, Japan and Iran are the most appearance national teams participants in FIFA World Cup.

I am very curious to see India in the next World Cup, I think it is a unique opportunity that they have, now that there are new quotas so that some countries can go and have the opportunity to be in a World Cup for the first time, that It fills an entire country with hope, which means that if it is probable that I can go to this World Cup, the truth is that I would like my country to finally go to a World Cup, I think that the feeling of listening to the country's anthem in a World Cup is a unique feeling, it makes many cry, I do want these teams that have never been to qualify.

current fifa ranking of india is 106 and it will be a great experience if teams from asian countries like india and others can fight in world cup 2026

I'm also really looking forward to my country (Indonesia) being able to compete with other countries in the 2026 world cup, it will be an extraordinary experience to hear our national anthem roar in the world cup stadium

That is correct India is on 106 at the moment - but you never know the indian gov is smart - they have kept their term with Russia and they have been friend with USA
likewise they Indian can get the their space in the world cup - lol - you never know!

I agree on the quality. The Indian team is ranked 104th and they don't even reach the last round of AFC qualifiers most of the times. China is marginally better, and are ranked 80th in FIFA ranking. Two and half decades back, China was included in the top-40, but in due course the quality of their football declined. The problem here is that if you exclude these two countries, there goes 40% of the world's population. I am not in favor of giving direct qualification to these two countries, but there should be some compromise solution which increases the probability of them featuring in the world cup.

India team is not superior not only with World Cup level but also can't qualify to AFC Cup 2024 in Qatar, but not only with India but also China have spent much money last than three years ago and many star player joined with Chinese Super League teams but can't bring positive impact for China can speak more how to qualify in FIFA World Cup.

I didn't know if India could even be a part of any world cup in the history of this national team but if want to be a part of the world CPU they have to rework and develop their team because currently, they have to race with other Asian teams like Japan, South Korea, and Iran for to a be a part of the world cup and maybe will need to do more investment in football and have a stronger team for the next world cup.

No, a friendly match at the World Cup? Cheesy

How are you even going to pull that off? People would freak out if during such a tournament the FIFA would also have friendly games in between. That makes no sense.

The World Cup qualifiers are already quite fair and the national teams have a lot of games to prove they are good enough to participate. Just look at Italy and how they screwed up during the last qualifications. They even had the chance to make their way to the World Cup in the play off games against North Macedonia and they failed again. I think enough is enough and it doesn't matter whether the team had a long tradition or not. Italy didn't perform well enough and so they didn't earn their starting spot at the World Cup.

The competition for becoming a host is always fierce and the only thing i don't like is if money decides in the end whether a country can host the tournament or not. It should always be the best application, not the country with the most money.

Whoa! Dude, I concur. World Cup fun match? Like sailing into shark-infested waters. FIFA's thoughts? Do they want us to go crazy or make the game more exciting? I'm starting to think FIFA's leaders are aliens. To spice up football, imagine small green creatures rushing around. If so, a friendly game is just the beginning.

You're right. World Cup qualifiers are tough. Teams are trying to qualify for the tournament. Right, Italy? Their "long tradition" doesn't entitle them. They can't. No more.

I concur regarding the host nation. The best people should be chosen, not the wealthiest. However, bribery and corruption may spice up the game! Imagine if the host country had to beat the other countries in hopscotch to keep their spot. A memorable World Cup
