Elite enraged by enlargement

European leagues fear burnout after FIFA expands World Cup

Spanish league president Javier Tebas suggested on Tuesday he might launch a legal challenge to FIFA's decision to expand the World Cup to 48 teams, starting in 2026.

Tebas claimed Europe's most powerful and richest leagues were not consulted on the decision and that it was based on FIFA president Gianni Infantino's need to fulfill promises that got him elected last year.
