FIFA president Gianni Infantino said a proposal to expand the World Cup finals to 48 teams, with 16 groups of three teams, received enthusiastic backing at a meeting of national federations today.
A select meeting of national federations from Asia, Europe and Oceania met with Infantino today, and welcomed a change from the current eight-group, 32-team event.
