FIFA is aware of the proposal that was first introduced last March by a delegate from Uruguay during an online meeting of the ruling council of world soccer’s governing body.
“We are convinced that the centennial celebration will be unique because 100 years are celebrated only once,” Dominguez said during his opening speech at CONMEBOL’s 80th Ordinary Congress.
The 2030 World Cup is already set to be the most sprawling edition with six host nations spread across three continents.
Uruguay was the original World Cup host in 1930 and is scheduled to stage one game. Paraguay, Argentina, Spain, Portugal and Morocco are also co-hosts.
“That is why we are proposing, for the first time, to hold this anniversary with 64 teams, on three continents simultaneously,” added Dominguez.
