Pablo Torre Finds Out · How FIFA Tried (and Failed) to Sell the Soul of Football · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

And also Morocco, who are a co-host of 2030 and desperate to get the final for 2030.

So maybe that loyalty could be rewarded.

I think that's going to be really interesting to see which confederations are a unified bloc, which splinter...

FIFA politics is really simple.

It's a numbers game.

It's 211 nations.

You need the numbers.

And Gianni, I think, will only resign if he feels he's lost the numbers.

If he feels he's in with a fighting chance, I can imagine he will attempt to fight on.

And then it's a case of who has the guts to fight it.

I think it makes it really hard if he stays in power for it to go to 64 teams.

I think the likelihood of 64 teams is now greatly diminished due to the events of the past week because UEFA and CONCACAF are already opposed to that.

If he then tries to push that through, do you want to go and start another war?

Or do you have a little mini war with CONMEBOL, the South Americans, which have about 11 members?

That's one of the downsides of South America for Gianni is there's not that many countries.

There's a lot of land mass, but not that many votes.

And they're the ones who are really keen on it.

So they get more of a hosting rights in 2030.

So I think that does make it harder.

There's a lot of things that it would make harder for him.
