Infantino floats 64-team World Cup plan for 2030 in Morocco, Portugal & Spain

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the governing body will formally study expanding the World Cup to 64 teams for the 2030 edition, which is to be hosted mainly by Morocco, Portugal and Spain with opening matches in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. The move aims to broaden global participation and benefit developing football nations, but it faces pushback from figures like UEFA’s Ceferin and CONCACAF’s Montagliani who warn it could dilute quality, while supporters stress the tournament should be accessible to more countries.

Trump’s crypto empire: billions earned, billions lost for investors

The Independent reports that Donald Trump and his family profited massively from crypto ventures—most notably World Liberty Financial and related meme tokens—while hundreds of thousands of ordinary investors lost billions; two-thirds of Trump meme-coin buyers were in the red, with some tokens plummeting up to 97% from their peak. The UAE royal investor and other elites backed World Liberty, raising questions about conflicts of interest as Trump’s fortunes in crypto soared during a broader downturn in the sector, which he has said he knew little about.

Partisan claim: EW towers burned in Bryansk to aid Ukrainian drone strikes on Kyiv

Ukrainian partisan group ATESH says it burned Russian electronic warfare towers in Bryansk Oblast to blunt air defenses and create a corridor for Ukrainian drones; Bryansk is the launch area for missiles hitting Kyiv, with Iskander-M/S-400 strikes reported in recent weeks. Kyiv officials warn flight times from Bryansk are around two minutes and that shortages of Patriot missiles hinder interceptions, while ATESH’s claims have not been independently verified.

Escalation widens as US strikes Iran and Gulf shipping faces attacks

New US strikes on Iran, directed by Trump, target Tehran’s ability to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran and allied forces retaliate with missiles and drones and Gulf states report attacks and casualties; authorities dispute whether the strait is open, and a civilian missing case and shelter-in-place warnings in Oman underscore the risk as regional mediators urge restraint.

FIFA Signals Interest in a 64-Team World Cup After 2026

FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the idea of expanding the World Cup to 64 teams will be assessed after the 2026 edition, arguing the tournament should be for the whole world and noting the 48-team format has been a huge success. He cited greater participation from smaller nations and potential revenue benefits, but warned that such expansion would bring hosting and qualification challenges, and no immediate decision is expected.
