The council meeting is likely to conclude with an expression of support for continued investigation of the possibility of adding an extra 16 teams to the tournament.
FIFA’s ruling council has not ruled out expanding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to 48 teams but a final decision will probably be pushed back until June.
FIFA’s feasibility study on the tournament envisages some additional games in an expanded World Cup possibly being held in other countries, with Kuwait and Oman mentioned as options.The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and non-Gulf state Egypt cut political, trade, and transport ties with Qatar in June, 2017.While Qatari organisers are working with FIFA on further studies of the options, they retain a veto over any change to the tournament, which is scheduled for Nov 2022.
The council will meet again shortly before the June 5 congress in Paris and they are then expected to put their recommendation to the full membership, who have traditionally backed the preferences of the leadership.
