Gianni Infantino, the president of Fifa, announced that the organization will review the format of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

In order to compete, there will be 48 teams instead of 32, and they will be split up into 16 groups of three, with the top two teams moving on to the final 32.

The “success” of the four-team groups in the Qatar World Cup in 2022, according to Infantino, will be taken into consideration.

“Here the groups of four have been absolutely incredible,” said Infantino.

“Until the last minute of the last match you would not know who goes through.

“We have to revisit or at least re-discuss the format. This is something that will certainly be on the agenda in the next meeting.”

The group stages in Qatar saw some thrilling championship matches as nations competed for the top two spots to advance to the round of 16.

Since the men’s World Cup’s expansion to 32 teams in 1998, the four-team group system has been in use, with the top two teams advancing to the knockout rounds.
