2030 World Cup expands to 64 teams with Paraguay as host

Your 2030 party just got bigger

The 2030 World Cup coming to Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay will feature 64 teams. CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez made the announcement, doubling the field from the 2022 format back to what FIFA used in 2026. For Paraguay, the host nation guarantee means you are already in, and a bigger tournament brings more matches to your soil.

The expansion frames the centenary World Cup as a true festival of football, one hundred years after Uruguay 1930 launched the whole thing.
