Recently, it was reported that FIFA (FIFA) is considering expanding the number of teams participating in the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams. In this regard, people in the Chinese football circle said frankly that even so, "the Chinese men's football team may not be able to enter".

Chinese football insiders said frankly that even if the scale of the 2030 World Football Championship is expanded to 64 teams, "the Chinese men's football team may not be able to enter".

According to the "China News Weekly" report, a number of Chinese Football Super League (Chinese Super League) team sources said that with the strength of Chinese football at this stage and in the foreseeable future, even if the World Cup expands to 64 teams and Asia wins about 13 places, the World Cup prospects of the Chinese team are only "superficially increasing the probability of promotion", bluntly saying that "if you really kick the knife, it is difficult to say that you are absolutely sure".

A staff member of the Chinese Super League club, who did not want to be named, said, "Over the years, through continental competitions such as the Asian Cup, some Asian countries that were not as good as us in the past have made progress, and we are now further sliding to 13th place in Asia." In fact, in the round of 18, Singapore and Thailand have caused us a lot of trouble. And many national teams from Central Asia and West Asia, it is difficult for the national football team to say that they are sure to win. ”

According to the New York Times, FIFA is considering expanding the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams to commemorate the event's 100th anniversary. The proposal was put forward by the representative of Uruguay, Alonso, and the reaction of the participants was "shocked".

The report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that FIFA may have taken business and political interests as the main consideration when making relevant decisions, rather than the sport itself, and said that FIFA President Gianni Infantino described the proposal as "interesting" and thought it deserved closer study.

South Korean media "Spotv News" questioned on the 7th that this is FIFA's "attempt to let the Chinese men's football team participate", but this move will cause a great burden on the physical strength of the players, and the top clubs in world football are expected to strongly oppose it.

The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be co-hosted by European countries Spain, Portugal and North African country Morocco, while the first three matches will be hosted by the South American countries of Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.
