🚨Alejandro Domínguez, Presidente de Conmebol, propone que el Mundial de 2030 se juegue con 64 selecciones 📌Este se hará en Marruecos, España, Portugal, Argentina, Uruguay y Paraguay. Será la celebración del centenario de la primera Copa del Mundo 📻#ElVbarCaracol
– Thursday, 10 April 2025

Domínguez's idea is motivated by the belief that no country should miss the "Centenary" World Cup in 2030.

Let's remember that with the last modification, the maximum event at the national team level will already have a change in 2026. 32 teams had been participating until Qatar 2022 and now that number has been increased to 48 teams.
