If countries that are less interested in football get a chance to participate in this tournament, interest in football will increase in those countries. I think this is a very correct point of view. I support this approach. In addition, the world cup organization held in Qatar showed us the success of the Asian and African teams. I look forward to seeing more teams from these continents. If the name of this organization is the World Cup, we should make it a real world game. If that happens, we will enjoy this tournament more.
This idea to increase the number of world cup participants would also have some financial benefits.The funds that most teams in developing nations would get from participating in the world cup can also be used to promote football in their home country. Some teams in developing nations are underfunded which might have contributed to their poor performance. Teams from Asia and Africa need funds to finance their national teams and local leagues. This will help to to promote football in the country and discovery of more quality player.
There are several reasons for the increase on the number of teams being allowed to participate on the world cup, to begin with there are political reasons for this move, Infantino became the president of FIFA by promising federations more spots for the world cup, another reason is that this will increase the interest on the world cup as now more countries will participate in it, and finally with this the amount of money FIFA will earn from the world cup will increase as well.
Their is a reason for the increase and it might not not be as bad as we think. I believe the 2026 world cup will be very interesting with new chances. If fifa increase the number of teams that will be participating it doesn't mean their will lots of weaker teams that will be participating in the competition.
You can never tell which new team will come forward as a competitive team in upcoming World Cup and may be they'll reach in later stages . You can never tell the potential anyone is having before the game as this world we have seen Morocco emerging as a stronger team.
This will increase popularity of fifa and football by leaps and bounds .
Well, in the case of Morocco, they have potential, let's remember that they have Hakimi, who is a very good fútbol player and who is at PSG, so European soccer brought to a country like Morocco is something that can lead to success, because you learn a lot of technique, and that technique is learned by their teammates, so a player from a national team that plays in Europe becomes a great advantage, the local fútbol leagues are very good, but the fact that one has experience in Europe sets a pattern, fútbol in a country grows, especially if its players all play in other leagues, because they become a great army of 11.
