Tag fifa world cup will feature 40 teams by 2026

That's correct! The 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will feature 40 teams, up from the traditional 32 teams that have participated in the tournament since 1998.

The decision to expand the tournament to 40 teams was made by FIFA's Council in 2017, and it was announced that the expanded format would be used for the 2026 tournament. The additional eight teams will be determined through a new qualification process, which will include a series of playoffs and a final tournament.

The expanded format is expected to increase the tournament's global reach and appeal, and it will also provide more opportunities for teams from smaller confederations to participate in the tournament.
