I started the Qatar thread eleven (!) years ago and so lets start the next one.
What do we know?
The tournament will kickoff in June 2026 and will be expanding from 32 to 48 nations.
The allocation for spots will look like this:
- Europe gets 16 (up from 13)
- Asia gets 8 (up from 4.5)
- Africa gets 9 (up from 5)
- North/Central America gets 6 including the three hosts (up from 3.5)
- South America gets 6 (up from 4.5)
- Oceania gets 1 (up from 0.5)
The final two…
