I think FIFA is intentionally doing it with 48 teams instead of 32 in order to promote football even more,even in countries which had never a possibility to be in such a huge event like the World Cup and I agree with this policy they are taking for this upcoming World Cup.

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.
That's clear, I saw it at the hosting of the World Cup in Qatar. Maybe the Saudis will be interested and have the opportunity to volunteer for other opportunities after seeing Qatar's success in organizing this event. Currently they are building the Domestic League by bringing in star players from Europe. I think the addition of participants to the 2026 World Cup, in addition to providing greater opportunities, of course this will motivate any country to strive to be able to appear at the World Cup.
By hosting countries that are less advanced in terms of soccer, it will be a very effective campaign to generate interest and promote football throughout. In the future it could be that the African region has a very high chance of becoming the host.
