Picture of the FIFA World Cup Trophy, which presented to the champions of the World Cup tournament.
Later today, the official draw for the 2026 World Cup, to be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and Europe, will be announced.
This will be the first World Cup with 48 teams involved. Frankly, that feels like a bit too many, in my opinion. One of the most common criticisms has been that it renders qualifying mostly meaningless. Almost no halfway decent team will likely fail to qualify again, as Italy failed to do in the two consecutive World Cups tournaments prior to this coming one. It was a huge story, as was the absence of the United States, Netherlands, as well as Italy, back in 2018. Those were huge headlines, and served as a reminder that even qualifying still meant something back then, when only 32 countries overall qualified.
