FIFA is exploring the possibility of expanding the World Cup to include 64 teams starting in 2030. The proposed format would significantly increase global participation, allowing more nations to compete on the sport's biggest stage and potentially broadening the tournament's international appeal.
As fan engagement is expected to grow with the larger format, blockchain-based sports platforms and fan tokens may see increased demand. With more teams and matches, there could be heightened interest in digital collectibles and decentralized fan experiences, drawing attention from the crypto market.
