Is it confirmed that 48 teams will play in WorldCup 26? I heard all this was rumor, but if it happens man this event will not be fun like we had in these past events. A total of 80 match!
It is a nice idea to organize the World Cup in different countries. But in terms of transport, it is not optimal for the players. You will always have to travel up and down, which is not great for your preparation. And the distances between these countries can also be considerable. Mexico and a World Cup, we've already experienced that once before in 1986. I thought everything had gone pretty well then. It surprises me a little that they organize the World Cup, since America is not really a football country at all. At least, football is not among the 3 most popular sports. Maybe not even in the top 5.
Let's see how they organize with such distance between countries and teams have to make travel between the games which is very struggling for players. I admit that football (they call it soccer
) is not popular in USA but it is football and I'm sure fans from all over the world will gather and make it amazing as they did this time in Qatar. Qatar was a perfect example of how should an event can be organized.
