Mubasher: FIFA is currently considering Kuwait and Oman to be unified hostesses of some matches for the 2022 World Cup, in case the tournament will be staged in Qatar, the New York Times reported
The World Cup will be expanded to 48 teams in 2026 instead of 32, but FIFA president Gianni Infantino recommended bringing forward the enlarged format to 2022, New York Times noted.
FIFA is expected to make a final decision in June, although the FIFA already warned that it would be difficult for Qatar to stage an expanded tournament alone.
