Has the 48-Team World Cup Made Football Better?

[Successful001]

The expanded 2026 FIFA World Cup has delivered more surprises, new rivalries, and unforgettable moments, but has it improved the tournament overall? Do you think the 48-team format has made the World Cup more exciting, or do you prefer the traditional 32-team competition? ⚽🌍

32 team

I think the extra teams have definitely added some interesting matchups and variety, but there's something special about the intensity of the 32-team format. It’s hard to beat that classic World Cup vibe!

I think the 48-team format definitely adds more excitement with new matchups, but I do miss the exclusivity of the 32-team format. It’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out in 2026!

[Maxsam]

I even anticipate more Increase , enough bets to play 😂

[Crownwharley]

Yes. Gives more nations and players opportunities to play in a world cup in their career. And it's fun as well.

[Lexzi]

In a way.

but there’s always room for adjustment 

[SilentFalcon]

I think the 48-team format definitely adds a layer of excitement with more underdog stories and new matchups, but I do miss the simplicity of the 32-team format. It’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out!

32 Teams better

[Nenny27]

I guess so

[Funsho]

It’s actually makes sense giving the more countries and player to play on the biggest stage as the slot increases 

[bozzbright]

Appears to be a better choice.

[BetBlaze26]

I think the 48-team format definitely adds more excitement and brings in new matchups, but I can see the charm in the traditional 32-team setup too. It's like having more surprises vs. maintaining a certain level of quality!

[TurboCanyon]

I think the 48-team format definitely adds some excitement and variety, but it also depends on how well those new teams perform. I get the nostalgia for the 32-team setup, though—it had its own charm!
