48 teams sa FIFA World Cup sa 2026

Olmin Leyba - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines – Maluwag na tinanggap ni Philippine Football Fede­ration president Nonong Ara­neta ang desisyon ng In­ternational Football Fede­ration na gawing 48-team competition ang FIFA World Cup simula sa taong 2026.

Ayon kay Araneta, suportado niya ang FIFA ukol sa nasabing pagdaragdag ng mga koponan.

“It’s a welcome develop­ment,” wika kahapon ni Ara­neta. “We fully support the 48-team format.”

Ang expansion ay na­nga­ngahulugan ng mas ma­raming puwesto para sa Asia sa pinakamalaking football event sa mundo.

Magkakaroon din ang Phi­lippine Azkals ng mara­ming tsansa para makalaro sa FIFA World Cup.

“It’s still a big hurdle for our team but since there will be additional slots for Asia, we’ll have more chances to vie for a berth,” ani Araneta.

Sa kasalukuyang 32-team format ng World Cup, apat na tiket ang ibinibigay ng FIFA para sa Asya.

“We believe that Asia, as the biggest continent deserves more slots compared with the current quota, loo­king at the economic power it has, and the popularity for the game in Asia,” wika ni Araneta.
