FIFA to discuss plan to expand Qatar 2022 to 48 teams at Moscow meeting

FIFA has confirmed it will formally discuss expanding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar from 32 to 48 teams at its pre-Russia 2018 congress on June 13 in Moscow.

FIFA's council unanimously approved a plan to add 16 more teams to the World Cup from 2026 onwards in January 2017 but the federation's president Gianni Infantino is keen to bring that expansion forward.
