FIFA reported strong ticket sales for the ongoing World Cup tournament. The organization said attendance and interest have exceeded expectations under the current 48-team structure.
Some viewers have described group-stage matches as low-stakes due to the larger field. A bracket structure described as awkward has also been noted by observers.
One suggestion under discussion is further expansion to 64 teams. This change would alter the number of participating nations and match scheduling for future tournaments.
