   Why did FIFA change the World Cup format in 2026?

   • Fifa has switched the format for the expanded 2026 World Cup back to four-team groups. The competition 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.

   What is the 2026 World Cup format?

   • The original format for the 2026 tournament in the U.S., Mexico and Canada was adopted by the Council in January 2017 when the World Cup was expanded from 32 nations to 48 starting in 2026. That format would have meant two teams playing on the final day of the group with one team off, which could lead to corruption.
