Gianni Infantino said on the subject: "It is certainly a question that will be examined and debated within the relevant committees after this World Cup. [...]Â If we do not give smaller countries the opportunity to take part in the World Cup, they will no longer have the motivation to keep improving."Â
Moreover, CONMEBOL president Alejandro DomĂnguez has already dropped a few hints on his Twitter account.
