E.g. 16 teams from europe.
8 Teams from Asia
9 Teams from Africa
9 teams from CONCACAF (6+3hosts)
6 Teams from CONMEBOL
2 From Play offs
So this means lots of weak teams will be in the tournament that includes weak european teams too. One thing for sure is that they will try to make the competition more entertaining by avoiding stronger teams playing with each other in group stage. + One european team is allocated to each group.
Again its possible to get a team from Europe + CONMEBOL + Asia but i think it will be based on fifa ranking. So the chances of us getting a african team is higher than CONMEBOL. Also remember that Mexico , Canada , USA are all allocated to first three groups which also includes a european team.
To early for this discussion but I am positive about it and I think advancing out of the group to round of 32 won't be considered a big thing in 2026. If we don't make it to round of 16 This year then It will be lot harder to make it to round of 16 in 2026.
