FIFA president Gianni Infantino: World Cup needs to be truly global

"We are in the 21st century and we have to shape the football World Cup of the 21st century."

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is aiming to make football a truly global sport after he saw his preferred World Cup revamp unanimously signed off on Tuesday.

From 2026, the World Cup will feature 48 teams as opposed to the 32-nation model which has been in place and untouched since France 1998.
