“Leagues around the world have been informed already, and of course they will have to adapt.”
Crann also quoted Infantino as saying that “leagues around the world have been informed already,” stressing FIFA’s strict position on this announcement by adding “of course they will have to adapt.”
FIFA remains open to expanding the number of teams by 50% in 2022, four years earlier than planned.
The organisation will continue discussing the matter with Qatar and “calmly and quietly” decide whether to grow the tournament to 48 teams from 32, Infantino said, according to The Chicago Tribune.
Infantino questioned on the 2022 #WorldCup participants, says that FIFA are yet to decide whether there will be 48 teams or 32 teams.
“For now it’s 32, but a decision has not been taken yet.”
