If to be able to survive until close to compete for the title, for example reaching the semifinals, then I not so sure that the Asian team that can qualify will be able to survive that far, but if it only reaches the quarterfinals, then we can most likely see it.
So far, Asian football has only improved slowly and even then it is not really visible significantly, the main problem is that the players as whole do not really have the experience and ability to compete with the team that always dominate the World Cup.
Some Asian countries may have naturalized players or players who can develop in European football, but that is only part and not as whole.
And if we talk about Saudi Arabian football, what is developing is not the Saudi Arabian national team but the domestic league like the SPL because it is filled with European players.

Asian soccer has never been ideal because we have too many issues with Asia is having 3 strong regions Western Asia, Central Asia and Eastern Asia in soccer currently we have strong teams from the Eastern Asia Japan and South Korea in Wester Asia we have Saudi Arab, and we have not solid development in South East Asia due to too much popularity of cricket.

Despite having very good economies and population things are not going as they needed due to personal conflicts and other things were mostly countries favour their regional partners instead of having some central policies I am no confident about their development as we have in African region because they are having good policies, and they are working hard for having better results in coming world cup mostly teams will be having chance of elimination in group stages with just Japan or South Korea can go for the next round but as we have some good work from Saudi Arab things can take good changes but it's also needed long time for having impact.

So, the only thing these players are good for is marketing, nothing more. Don't get me wrong most of them are great for this league, Ronaldo has been scoring like crazy, but that doesn't mean they are good, that just means the league is terrible. This is why there isn't any interest even by the Saudis themselves.

I agree with you. I think the main purpose of bringing in veteran superstar players is to promote Saudi Arabia especially SPL to the world. There are many rich businessmen in Saudi. If they want fame or want to be a pioneer in football they can buy a European club and then make it a team like City or PSG. But right now the Saudi Arabian government and businessmen are trying to promote SPL. We can see right now there are almost no football fans who don't know Al Nassr or Al Ittihad and the Saudi Arabian Pro League. Even if Ronaldo retires and there are no more star players there, I think the Al Nassr brand is already quite well known in football.

Everything is beautiful, more games etc .. but we want to talk about the quality of the games there have been very boring games in this Copa America or in these Europeans only because FIFA must sell the rights, it does not seem right to me that because of the money we must see A boring slow and talented boring football, so I say that if they have the opportunity they will surely do it, but they will certainly not have my support and my sequel

It is certainly conceivable that when the number of teams is increased, there will be some relatively weak opponents in the main stages of the World Cup tournament, which may make football less competitive for them, but the chances of this happening are slim. Because there are still many countries who are playing good football but are not able to qualify for the main stage, if they get a chance they will definitely do well in the main stage. Copa América has some well-known teams and the rest never compete with those well-known teams, but that will not happen in the World Cup. As the number of teams increases, so does the number of groups and if there are two strong teams in each group then two relatively weaker teams will be added so that the stronger teams will advance to the next round.

In my opinion, however, the fact of having so many teams is an evil in the sense that there will be more and more teams that will act as a mattress and the others will take advantage of it will surely be a different world championship where there will be many new nations that perhaps perhaps they would have dreamed of Participate in a World Cup, but in my opinion the gap is still wide for certain countries to compete with the big worlds!

Saudi Arabia is the country they just spent money to have better performance and better teas for the world cups and they even hired some expensive coaches for their teams too but this won't be enough because they still can't have the good performance like Japan and the other developed terms by just spending more money.
I still think in this group Japan will get a better place than Saudi Arabia and maybe after two first teams, Saudi Arabia can be the third team of this group.

While I agree that they are spending a ton of money and they will have the world cup on their home court soon enough and they shocked the world on the last one, it's clear that they are much worse than many European teams that can't even join due to how the numbers from each continent work, and they only join because Asia is a weak continent when it comes to football and has never won anything ever.

This is why Saudi will not do well when it's their time to host neither, and they will continue to do very badly as long as there is no interest. Just open any Al Nassr game, they have Cristiano Ronaldo, who they pay 100 million a year, and even with that they have no fans on the stands, that should tell you all you need to know about them. This is why I think it should be noted that they are going to end up with bad results, because they are not growing in the world of football, nobody is interested, and they are not going to get better younger people in the future neither.

Saudi Arabia has managed to make their main competition improve and also become more competitive by bringing many European stars to the SPL, if we pay attention to the fact that Saudi Arabia has become a team that consistently qualifies for the World Cup because the opponents they face from the Asian qualifiers are relatively weaker than their strength, besides that Saudi Arabia does have an advantage in stamina and also physicality to overcome every opponent in Asia And I think in terms of physique and stamina they are also not inferior to the European team except for the current mentality, so that's why I think the Saudi Arabian football authority allows many local clubs to recruit a lot of European star players with reasson it will make the local Saudi Arabian players have a strong mentality with of the fierce competition happening in the league, From some of the international matches played by Saudi Arabia we can actually say that they has developed a lot at the moment and even in recent years I see that Saudi Arabia has become one of the strongest teams from Asia.

The only thing they have in Saudi Arabia is money other than this they don't have the enough power to host the World Cup and I think FIFA just decided to let them host it because they can build a perfect Staduim like we saw in Qatar and even Saudi Arabia got more money than Qatar for it.
The thing that made me worried is about the bad weather in Saudi Arabia which can make it hard for everyone to spend time there while in countries like the USA and Canada, we have a much better situation.

Perhaps their aim is to improve the quality of their country's players, which is why they are buying the world's top players to play for their country's clubs, which they are spending more money on. Saudi Arabia has already bought several famous players in their club including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr., Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane. Perhaps exposure to these world-class forwards will lead Saudi Arabian players to follow them and try to play in their style and in their ways, thereby improving their homegrown players.

I would say while it's good that they got some good players, they are world famous, but they are not as talented as they used to be. I mean can you imagine Benzema or Ronaldo to be starting at Real anymore? Of course not, Mane at Liverpool? Neymar was basically just sent away, because he costs too much for just staying injured, and proved that PSG was right but literally getting injured after just one game here.

So, the only thing these players are good for is marketing, nothing more. Don't get me wrong most of them are great for this league, Ronaldo has been scoring like crazy, but that doesn't mean they are good, that just means the league is terrible. This is why there isn't any interest even by the Saudis themselves.

-snip- If these teams play in the main stage, then only those who play will understand how they will feel. As a football lover I also want the tournament to be longer and to organize more teams.

Actually, this is a win-win solution for everyone. The underdog teams will get a chance to play in the world cup, Tourists will increase because more countries will play, Fans will get to watch more matches, and of course, FIFA will get more money. But increasing the number of participants will also have negative things such as the cost of hosting the tournament will be more expensive because it has to accommodate more countries. It will also affect many things such as good administration and protocols to minimize problems. And another problem is that even though there will be more teams playing, fans on television usually only watch matches from their country if they qualify, or will only watch big matches, between countries that are regulars in the world cup.

From some of the international matches played by Saudi Arabia we can actually say that they has developed a lot at the moment and even in recent years I see that Saudi Arabia has become one of the strongest teams from Asia.

Has Asia's football level increase though? I can't really tell since most of the time the ones who managed to compete at the WC is Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and so on. It's a bit futile to argue whether their strategy is working or not if we don't know their goal. I remember reading some reports that suggest the government is quite happy with their plan to spend money to increase their league competitive level, but some will say that the data is faked or something because they can't verify it themselves. Who knows, maybe their goal is just to flaunt their wealth because it's hard to believe they can't predict something that a random internet user can think for 10 seconds.

Anyway, can't wait to see if my national team can beat Saudi Arabia or not. It would be really funny if we win, the memes will be pretty good.

If to be able to survive until close to compete for the title, for example reaching the semifinals, then I not so sure that the Asian team that can qualify will be able to survive that far, but if it only reaches the quarterfinals, then we can most likely see it.

I agree with you. In my opinion, increasing the quota of participants in the 2026 World Cup will provide a new opportunity for several countries that failed to play in the World Cup. Currently, the losing team and failed to get a slot still have a chance to play in the qualifying round 1, round 2 or even compete with countries from other continents. I agree with increasing the number of teams to 48 teams. But if it is 64 teams, I think the World Cup will be boring and not prestigious because there will be many countries participating. I think FIFA has been doing research for years.

I think they have increased the number of participants in the next World Cup just to make us Italians happy, otherwise we would be out of the World Cup again for the third time in a row. Joking aside, I think the increase in nations will only serve to increase the spectacle and get a lot more revenue. As always the game of football is a game of money, everything revolves around them

More participants mean more money for FIFA and we know one big part of football is money which is very important for FIFA to earn more money I think the only reason for them to bring more participants is to get more community and more countries which can give them more money, otherwise having more participants will be a good idea for World Cup since it will bring more weak teams to this tournament which can't have any chance against better teams.
I hope to see the increasing number of teams in just something they want to do temporarily not forever.

If the number of teams increases then the tournament will be longer which will allow FIFA to sell the broadcasting rights to different channels at a higher price. Not only this, FIFA will also get a good amount of money from sponsors. More importantly, the new teams will have the opportunity to participate in big tournaments like the World Cup where every new team will try to play their best. There are many countries who have not qualified to play in the main stage of the World Cup despite trying hard for ages. If these teams play in the main stage, then only those who play will understand how they will feel. As a football lover I also want the tournament to be longer and to organize more teams.

When it comes to the World Cup, these big names like Ronaldo etc won't be playing from the Saudi Arab, therefore they need to develop their local players who are capable of playing and competing with the world's greatest teams. However, local players playing with them will surely increase their confidence and help them improve their game.

Perhaps their aim is to improve the quality of their country's players, which is why they are buying the world's top players to play for their country's clubs, which they are spending more money on. Saudi Arabia has already bought several famous players in their club including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr., Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane. Perhaps exposure to these world-class forwards will lead Saudi Arabian players to follow them and try to play in their style and in their ways, thereby improving their homegrown players.

Quote

Looking at their history, out of the 7 World Cups they played, they reached to the round of 16 in the 1994 World Cup and that was their best performance in the WCs. Also Saudi Arab is classified as host for the 2034 World Cup.

Yes, it was the biggest success in the history of the Saudi Arabian national football team. Saudi Arabia reached the Round of 16 at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where they were defeated by Sweden by 3-1 goals. AFC Asian Cup is held in Asian continent with several countries where Saudi Arabia is one of the most successful team they have won three titles in this tournament.

Quote

I hope you remember the 2018 FIFA World Cup match between Russia and Saudi Arab where they lost badly.

After the 2018 World Cup, everyone might remember the match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Because Argentina seemed to be the favorite in the 2022 World Cup, but Saudi Arabia shocked the football world by defeating them in their first match of the tournament.

I don't know if it was a joke or you said it seriously about Italy Grin

. But it's quite unfortunate that they had to fail to be in the World Cup because they had to fail in the qualifying round. Now the number of World Cup participants is more than before and it is true that it will open up opportunities for countries that have always failed to reach the World Cup, at least their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup finals will increase. But there is a side where I see whether countries that usually have difficulty qualifying and now qualify can provide a more interesting spectacle, or they will just be complementary countries. Of course I don't want to see that, because I think it will slightly reduce the competitive level that we usually see in previous World Cups. But I hope that's just my fear of this.

obviously I was joking, but in reality given the scarcity of strong Italian players, with the increase in places available for the next world cup, the chances of qualifying for Italy also increase. I hope that the show will not be missing in the next edition, regardless of which national teams will be present

Of course, with the increase number of participants means, increase of spectators as well. As they will be rooting for those teams involved, the possibility of larger audience will always be there. And yes, the revenue will further increase as more tourists will be expected on this event. The organizers will see if this will be good also for the event, to have longer list of participants or they will encounter more issues for holding such.
Some countries will splurge a good amount of money with the aim of promoting their country itself. And that means, they want also to have good revenue afterwards. This is why some of the infrastructures being built owed to the event are aimed to last long. And with more participants, they will have more audience for sure.

More participants mean more money for FIFA and we know one big part of football is money which is very important for FIFA to earn more money I think the only reason for them to bring more participants is to get more community and more countries which can give them more money, otherwise having more participants will be a good idea for World Cup since it will bring more weak teams to this tournament which can't have any chance against better teams.
I hope to see the increasing number of teams in just something they want to do temporarily not forever.

Money is what ry matters now in football and you can see that with the clubs and the players how they want to make profit from whatever they are doing. I think FIFA is doing it to bring more countries into the competition and to also make more money to their pockets. However, I will like to see if those countries that we call weak due to their low performance in football that have being depriving them from coming to the world cup, how they will survive the heat.

A country can be strong today and weak tomorrow. Look at Italy who failed to qualify for the next world cup in 2026, will you say that they are not strong but they became weak this time. This is why I believe that some countries that have not being partaking in the world cup competition, given this opportunity can improve their performance overtime by motivating themselves with their first appearance.

I agree with you. In my opinion, increasing the quota of participants in the 2026 World Cup will provide a new opportunity for several countries that failed to play in the World Cup. Currently, the losing team and failed to get a slot still have a chance to play in the qualifying round 1, round 2 or even compete with countries from other continents. I agree with increasing the number of teams to 48 teams. But if it is 64 teams, I think the World Cup will be boring and not prestigious because there will be many countries participating. I think FIFA has been doing research for years.

I don't know if it was a joke or you said it seriously about Italy Grin

. But it's quite unfortunate that they had to fail to be in the World Cup because they had to fail in the qualifying round. Now the number of World Cup participants is more than before and it is true that it will open up opportunities for countries that have always failed to reach the World Cup, at least their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup finals will increase. But there is a side where I see whether countries that usually have difficulty qualifying and now qualify can provide a more interesting spectacle, or they will just be complementary countries.

It's not joke because in last few years we are having huge decline in few country's quality and things are getting the worst day by day like we are discussing Brazil Italy is also suffering badly in this way, and they are trying to bring back good quality which is never been easy as we have few countries which have already won world cups as well.

But, due to having lacking of good system and quality fail to keep things on good level and now suffering it's surely turmoil for them even they are having enough funds but still things are not coming on level which they deserve hopefully we will have positive changes, and they will be able to compete at this level in the future.

Sooner or later it would have happened anyway. Tournaments are getting bigger all the time regardless of time, tournaments are getting more complicated, so it was a matter of time to add the number of participants, and it's good to add it now and not in the next tournament, because now we have the opportunity to see more matches. But it will be harder to keep track of everything

Events extension has never been issue here we need to bring more countries and players here because we can have the best skills and talent but main issue is quality we also need to improve quality which is main issue if we have gape in quality then surely we will have things not on good level and fans interest will also hurt which is the most important thing for FIFA but if we have quality and things are on good level then having increased teams are never been issue.

Of course I don't want to see that, because I think it will slightly reduce the competitive level that we usually see in previous World Cups. But I hope that's just my fear of this.
