The South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) has stepped up its pressure on FIFA to expand the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams. The push follows the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup final, which was won by Spain.
Under the current plans for the 2030 tournament, Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay are slated to host matches. However, Conmebol’s proposed expansion to a 64-team format would allow those three South American nations to host a significantly larger number of matches than what is currently scheduled.
