FIFA President Gianni Infantino says the expansion of the FIFA World Cup from 32 to 48 teams could be brought forward from 2026 to 2022.

The change would require Qatar to share 2022 hosting duties with other countries in the region.

The decision has already been taken to expand the tournament in 2026, when it will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico, and Infantino is now considering doing the same for 2022.

He says they have to see if it is possible, if it is feasible and are discussing with their Qatari friends adding they are discussing with their many other friends in the region and hope that this can happen.
