World Cup is one of the largest sports events in the world. Due to the influence of football on a global scale, its popularity and attention are even higher than the comprehensive Olympic Games. The reason why the World Cup is so attractive is mainly due to the frequency of being held every 4 years and the elite system of 32 participating teams, which guarantees the level of the event and does not make fans feel fatigued, unlike the Champions League every year. In the league, fans look at it every year and lack some freshness.
However, in recent years, there has been more and more information about the restructuring of the World Cup. The first thing to be determined is that the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup will expand to 48 teams in 2026, and the number of World Cup finals will increase by 16 teams. Asian seats rose from 4.5 to 8.5, which is very beneficial for the national football team. But speaking of it, relying on the expansion of the army to win the number of places to enter the World Cup is really unwilling to domestic fans. And this kind of army expansion will directly affect the viewing of the World Cup, and there will be many teams of relatively average level entering the World Cup.
The expansion is only the first step in the World Cup restructuring. It is understood that the current World Cup restructuring plan is to hold the World Cup every two years. This restructuring plan was mainly put forward by former Arsenal coach Wenger . He is currently working at FIFA and is mainly dedicated to the development of world football. Once this reform plan came out, it attracted a lot of support and opposition. Wenger appeared in the world preliminaries in the Asian region for this reason, and watched the match between the national football team and Qatar . The tournament is held. After all, 4 years are too long, and the possibility of changes in the middle is too high. 4 years are enough to change a team.
Wenger’s ideas fit the views and ideas of many people. For players, the World Cup can be said to be the ultimate dream, but due to the limitation of the participating teams and the frequency of hosting, it may not be possible in their careers. Set foot on the highest palace of world football.Even if the strength of the national team is strong enough, the number of times a player can participate is really very few, and many people can only leave regrets in their careers. If the World Cup stays in the original way and does not seek change, it will be easily abandoned by the times and replaced by other sports.
Compared with the advantages and disadvantages of hosting the World Cup once every two years, there are also many disadvantages. Real Madrid star Bell expressed his opposition. Compared with the participation of the whole people, it is easier and faster to participate. Bell prefers the traditional and higher gold content to be held every 4 years. It is because the number of holdings is not so many and not so frequently, it appears to be precious. The tradition should be somewhat different. Keep it instead of changing it casually. Not only that, many players said that the task of club competitions is already very heavy. If the number of times the World Cup is to be increased, the players will have to pay more energy and physical fitness, and the vacation time will also be reduced. Moreover, the increase in the hosting of the World Cup will cause conflicts with the European Cup, so UEFA is also opposed.
If it can be held once every two years, the chance of the Chinese team entering the World Cup is equivalent to doubled. Originally, it could only hit once in 4 years, but now it can hit twice. So Wenger’s proposal is to be considered from the perspective of all countries in the world, while Bell is the leader from the perspective of those elite teams. If the frequency can be shortened on the basis of the expansion of the army, the possibility of China hosting the World Cup will also be greatly increased, and other regions with less developed football levels can also be jointly organized. In this way, the World Cup can really become a national carnival event.
