what you say is very true, the prestige is really needed by the fifa world cup so that it continues to be the biggest sporting event in the world always and it is very good if FIFA continues to maintain it for 4 years

I myself see that what FIFA has been doing for a long time has been very good, the selection they have made has also been very good so far so increasing the number of countries playing will only add to the burden and I think it will be bad for the future of the world cup
I believe that year after year the FIFA management/staff intends to make some changes in the future world cups, I confess that I am not a sports specialist, but I do not know if the insertion of more countries in the world cup will be something extremely beneficial , I have no doubt that this will help a small country that has never participated in a world cup, but I have no doubt that it could lower the level of future world cups.
For me, an icing on the cake of the world cup is the fact that it takes place every 4 years.

Ronaldo has not been playing at the highest level for the last 2-3 years and this can clearly be seen from his statistics.
But his ego and selfishness during that time destroyed the ambitions and sports results of Juve, Manchester United and finally the Portuguese national team in Qatar.
Not only will Ronaldo not play in the next world cup in 2026 but it was a serious mistake that he even played for Portugal in the last world cup in 2022 in Qatar.
With his behavior and arrogance, he damaged the atmosphere in the Portuguese team and made it impossible for them to show their quality and maybe play in the final.
He is no longer a football player, but a rich retiree who wants to play recreational football in Saudi Arabia for huge sums of money  Grin

I agree with the points you said, it was his ego and arrogance that stopped him from playing at European level. his early career ended, after his interview session with Piers Morgan. as it were, he felt he was still in demand by many big clubs in European leagues. in fact he ended up in the Arab league, which even Ronaldo was reluctant to play in the Arab League, during his first interview with Piers Morgan. it's a shame, in fact he is one of the megastars who actually can still exist on the European scene if he can control his ego and try to be a little humble. In fact, Zlatan, who in fact has entered the age of 40+, can still play at a big club, even though his existence is not as great as when he was young.

Actually I like Ronaldo on the field, he is an agile player who is also hungry for goals. unfortunately, his career will end with his new team and even if Portugal still includes him in his squad at the 2026 world cup later. as you said, the portuguese team will not show the quality of the regeneration of other players.

I strongly doubt that Ronaldo will play in the 2026 world cup, if you watched their game against morocco(not 100 percent sure) in the last world cup which brought about their disqualification from the tournament, Ronaldo was crying while leaving the football pitch, many believe that the reason why he was crying was because the 2022 world cup match was his last, and he thought he could have done better but failed, even through out the entire game Portugal played in the 2022 world cup, Ronaldo wasn't as active and vibrant like the Ronaldo we all used to know, i highly doubt his participation in 2026 world cup.
Even though it was once doubted that Ronaldo would not appear at the 2026 world cup, I saw the official video release from the Portuguese national team Instagram account where the new coach Roberto Martínez said that he would still add Ronaldo's name to his list in the Portugal squad, but this does not mean Ronaldo can strengthen Portugal in the 2026 world cup which I think is impossible considering that Ronaldo is already 38 years old now and if you wait until the 2026 world cup title he will definitely be 42 years old in my opinion that is too old, but for other competitions like Euro 2024 I think he is will still appear to defend the Portuguese national team, even though he will only be a substitute on the bench.
I also think that Cristiano Ronaldo's career is at its end now. There is absolutely no chance of playing the World Cup in 2026. His game shows no progress. He could not match himself in the new club.

The Fifa world cup 2026 will be co-hosted by three nations United States, Canada and Mexico.

Key Highlights

1- This will be the first time we will see 48 teams in the tournament, instead of 32.
2- There will be a total of 80 matches to be played in this Fifa world cup.
3- United States will host 60 Matches
4- Canada and Mexico will host 10 matches each.


Qualification

The qualification process for the FIFA 2026 world cup has not been finalized but this is for sure that more teams will be able to fulfill their dreams of playing in the Fifa world cup.

We shall discuss everything from qualification, preparation, and then the commencement of the actual Fifa world cup in 2026.  Smiley

I don't think the world cup would be interesting like this. They should have just left it for just one country to host.
Hosting the world cup is not an easy financial burden for a country, it's just about the love and prestige that comes with being a host of the world cup that makes nations push for the opportunity to host it. With three countries now being the host for the 2026 WC tournament it will easy the financial burden as the countries involved will have to share the cost. Another good part about this is that it will also afford countries that couldn't host it single handedly to have the opportunity to do so by merging with another. As for Qatar they have the financial will and that's why they were able to give us such astonishing and remarkable hosting of the 2022 WC, but not for countries that are going through some huge financial deficit and debt which the USA is not an exception.

Well, you are right about that, just after seeing the demonstration that Qatar gave, that they did not skimp on exorbitant expenses, which drew attention since they did not expect any type of ROI, they wanted to demonstrate the majesty of their country, and obviously This contained everything that is their culture that was enclosed for many in a series of rules and things that some people do not quite accept, however it was a very showy world, where technology was observed at its maximum splendor, they wanted to give more, I think They gave everything they could, the Arabs really excelled in my personal opinion, I hope that this World Cup these three countries help each other for the good of the show.

I also think that Cristiano Ronaldo's career is at its end now. There is absolutely no chance of playing the World Cup in 2026. His game shows no progress. He could not match himself in the new club.

The fact that he's now playing at Saudi Arabia until 2025 means that he's career is basically over.

He will not be playing at the highest level for years, plus he's getting older.

There's no chance for him to play in the next world cup. He just took the money and ran.

I am not sure whether Ronaldo will ever be a part of the Portuguese national squad again. He has moved to Saudi Arabia with his family and is a part of the biding team for 2030 FIFA World Cup. There are rumors that he may take up Saudi Arabian citizenship. He is already cohabiting with his girlfriend (Georgina Rodríguez), which is against the Saudi law. Actually as per Saudi Arabian law, cohabiting without marriage is a crime punishable by death. They changed the law just for Ronaldo. And in all probability, this is just a beginning. There will be more high profile sports legends moving to the Kingdom in the coming months and years.

And now taking in to account the rough treatment that he received during the 2022 world cup from the Portugal coach (Fernando Santos, replaced with Roberto Martínez a few days back), I am not sure whether Ronaldo would be very excited to represent Portugal again. He wanted to play for the national team along with his son, but given the changed circumstances it may no longer be a priority for him.

I think it may be too forward, but in the 2026 World Cup that will be held in three countries, I would like to see Portugal versus England in the finals. I know the Portuguese side will be a young team led by an experienced 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not retire despite everyone's criticism. Hopefully he wins his First World Cup in penalties or extra time. It will be fun to watch.

By then their wont be Ronaldo and don't think Portugal have a player that is as good as Ronaldo.  Ronaldos influence over the year is what have been taking Portugal far in world cup. In the last world cup he wasn't very active that was why Portugal performance was not that impressive.

More teams in the World Cup means more matches and of course more money, but that does not mean that we will see a better competition.
In fact, we will see more boring and bad matches that will not be attractive for TV and fans.
The World Cup should be an exclusive competition in which only the best national teams from all continents can participate, not a competition in which practically every national team in the world can participate.
I think that the increase in the number of national teams at the World Cup was due to another reason, which is that it would be easier for the president and the leadership of FIFA to get support for another term in FIFA.
In the end, it always comes down to politics and money  Grin
I think lower level teams still mean a lot of money for Fifa. Because it doesn't matter who the big clubs play for, and the small ones do not matter neither because they have nations that will end up watching this. This means instead of the classic amount of nations (and everyone else) there will be even more people and even more fans on the stands and even more money.

So all in all this is a good thing for Fifa, is it a good thing for world of football? I do not know, a team that barely got in, could end up winning some games, nobody expected Morocco to be this further neither but they did, so surprises could happen as well and we should be happy that everyone has a higher chance next time.

The notion of seeing Portugal perform in the World Cup's big ballet of countries is thrilling. However, let's add a pinch of realism to this potent concoction. Cristiano Ronaldo, our virtuoso, has performed at the pinnacle of his abilities recently. His deftness is unparalleled, but nobody escapes the ravages of time. His rapid speed and Herculean strength have been tempered by age, but he's still quite the force on the field.

Even a player with Ronaldo's renowned ability can't always win the World Cup. It's the equivalent of trying to climb Mount Everest without oxygen! Some could say that for a man who is approaching the big 4-0, this is the ultimate challenge. But let's not let rumors ruin the fun for us

2026 world cup will be super interesting, 2022 world cup tournament in Qatar was also affected by Covid 19. Though the effect was minimal. The FIFA officials were able to controlled the population in the various stadium in the world cup. So in 2026 cup which will be a disease from period by the grace of God, will be very much interesting because of the teams which thought themselves that they would win their opponents but could not win them will be striving stronger to defeat their opponents but I also believe that by then other strong teams will be spring up like Morocco to play against some strong teams and disgrace them. I am still doubting that Portugal and England will play the final.
FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar was amazing and there are not problem about Covid 19 because all matches held on many fans and there are not any space left for supporter watching in stadium. Due many controversial about alcohol drink not allowed but FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar was success without any problem yet. Many surprise national team success lead to next stage and there are still not lucky for expectation national team like England, Portugal and surprised with Morocco success lead until semifinal.

Next FIFA World Cup 2026 in Canada/Mexico/United States which one national team will make surprise, however with new regulation and several national team added will make unpredictable about who national team lead until final stage.

But on the other hand, if there is a greater insertion of teams, I believe that this will reduce the quality of the world cup, I am not discrediting the teams, but I do not know, this could reduce the level and quality of the world cup.

The world cup only happens every 4 years, and I have no doubt, this is one of the most anticipated events for many people.

When more teams are added to the World Cup, the quality of the World Cup may be affected. Football's biggest event, held every four years, has different views from around the world. Therefore, FIFA will not take any decision that brings FIFA into disrepute. They have already decided to include 48 countries from next season. I think it's a good decision because a lot of teams, especially multiple champions ‍some times can't play there, so it's definitely a good decision. But more than 48 will do more harm than good.
Yes, I also believe that the number of participants can affect the quality of the world cup, not to the detriment of other teams, but unfortunately if a country has not participated in previous world cups, it means that it has neither the capacity nor the quality to be a eligible team to participate in the world cup.

I imagine that the main reason the world cup is such a rare and prestigious event is because it takes place every 4 years.
This World Cup has been the best in history. All football fans will remember this World Cup. But the next World Cup will be even more spectacular, as several countries will host it. Everything is updated as the day progresses. I hope people will see new surprises in the next World Cup.

It is already expected the next World Cup series which is in 2026 will be remarkable and more sensational especially after what happened recently in the FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022 where almost everything was handled very well by the country that hosted the said event, so organized and yes, spectacular as you said.

Regarding the next World Cup that will be hosted by three countries, here are the list of the stadiums of each respective country that will be used for the said event. Just a disclaimer, this list is not yet official and still bound for some changes. FIFA announced that they will announce the final list of the host cities and schedules of its games.

And don't forget the next World Cup will hosted by three separate countries, so expect that there will some games that will be played simultaneously.

Yes, it's not hard to do more games simultaneously, USA alone is a huge country, with great infrastructure to travel, Canada and Mexico will host only 10 matches each one, but it will help, so it's not a impossible task.

Yes, I just found out that the USA will host most of the games especially the qualifiers onwards, 40 games to be exact and it's quite reasonable because they got bigger stadiums that can cater hundreds of thousands of people at once. The FIFA won't let the players get exhausted for travelling in and out towards other countries especially when the games are getting more intense.
I also think the reason why USA will be hosting most of the games in the 2026 world-cup tournament is because they are the main host, Mexico and casino are just an assist if am permitted to put it that way.
If for example, FIFA went with their previous style of one country hosting the entire world cup for the season, I believe it is the turn of the USA, so this is why FIFA has to focus more on USA and make sure most of the games are played there, like I said before, Mexico and Canada are just like an assist, they are just assisting.

I guess that's one way to look at it because most games are indeed will be hosted by the USA, while Canada and Mexico only got 10 games each out of the 60 whole month games. But I guess there are some more deeper reasons than that and not just because the North American continent has 3 countries and I found out this while I'm scrolling through the web.

Quote
The soccer federations of the U.S., Canada and Mexico agreed to submit a joint bid to FIFA to host the competition. The bid won in 2018, with a majority of FIFA’s congress voting to grant rights to the three nations.

Although this is not the first time as well that a World Cup will be hosted by a numerous country because the same situation happened back in 2002 where South Korea and Japan bid together to host the World Cup.

what you say is very true, the prestige is really needed by the fifa world cup so that it continues to be the biggest sporting event in the world always and it is very good if FIFA continues to maintain it for 4 years

I myself see that what FIFA has been doing for a long time has been very good, the selection they have made has also been very good so far so increasing the number of countries playing will only add to the burden and I think it will be bad for the future of the world cup
2026 World Cup stadiums have seen some pictures online. If indeed such stadiums are built then that too will be a history. And the football teams of 2026 will take themselves to unique heights.
