There is nothing much to argue about in this rule which has been a rule that previous hosts have enjoined over the years. @Leviathan.007 how fair would it be that your country is a host of the world cup tournament with the so much inconveniences that follows the whole process of preparations and arrangement of hospitality to all tourists that would be in attendance? It makes no sense at all that's why the express slot are given to host countries and nothing unfair about that, it's rather understandable.

Just one question to you.

If a country can't qualify for the FIFA World Cup, why should that country be given the hosting rights? This was very evident during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar was given automatic entry to the tournament since they were the hosts. And what happened after that? They lost all three of their group stage matches and got crashed out of the tournament. I still believe that if a more deserving country from AFC was given that slot, then they would have performed much better. Anyway, in this case United Arab Emirates was the team that was ranked 6th in the AFC qualifiers. I don't know how they would have performed, had they been given the chance.

I'm also doubtful about if it is the right thing to give this qualification right to host countries just like that. I don't know if this gives the right to that country to join the group stage directly just because of hosting the tournament. That country should also earn their way to the main tournament by playing qualification matches.

Qatar really didn't make us watch some good football from them. The players just represented their country in the last World Cup and that's all. They were an easy target for all of their opponents in their group.

In the 2026 World Cup there are going to be 3 host countries like Mexico, Canada and USA. Now all of these countries have qualified for the main tournament already.

These three teams will get the three positions in the world cup tournament and this can make the other three strong teams to be out of the World Cup because the three teams are getting auto qualification for this tournament. I think at least they had to just let America get the qualification chance and two other teams could race for the ticket just like other teams because in fact, America is the main host of 80 percent of games that are going to be in America.

We should start to be accustomed that there will be some time that three countries will be qualified automatically without the need to make a run for the qualifications and go through the normal set-up just like the other team because in the upcoming World Cup, three countries will host it and it will be just rightful to have their own team to be qualified directly. Moreover, in World Cup 2030, I bet the same thing will happen as it seems like Morocco-Spain-Portugal will host the event.
