You might have heard that FIFA have Changed the format for the 2026 World Cup back to the four-team
groups. The competition to be held in the United States, Mexico and
Canada was due to feature 16 groups of three because the number of teams is
increasing from 32 to 48. But the success of the four-team format at the 2022
World Cup in Qatar caused the governing body to reconsider.
The move expands the competition from its projected 80
matches to 104, including a new round-of-32 stage. The new round-of-32 stage
means teams will have to play eight matches to reach the final, compared to
seven at the 2022 tournament. FIFA have said that the top two and eight best
third-placed teams would progress to the last 32.
