BarcelonaGianni Infantino has not had enough of the World Cup held a few months ago. After a turbulent organization, the World Cup meeting based in Qatar left doubts and moral debts.

The business of a sport where results are the smallest claim. Under this premise, the world football body announced this week, at its 73rd congress in Rwanda, a new format for the 2026 World Cup based in Mexico, Canada and the United States. There will be 12 groups in which the 48 participating teams will be divided, with a total of 104 matches to be played in 39 days. More matches, more box office. More profit, more money.
