The 2022 FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and
defending champion France has started. Argentina captain Lionel Messi makes his
26th appearance at the FIFA World Cup. Messi’s FIFA World Cup Journey started
16 years ago and today, he has a chance to win his first FIFA World Cup title.
However, France’s record against Argentina isn’t great –
they’ve only won three of twelve matches overall and two of three World Cup
encounters. In addition, Les Bleus have won seven straight World Cup knockout
games, only two short of Brazil’s record, as they fight to become just the
third team to successfully defend their title.
According to a BBC report, FIFA President Gianni Infantino
on December 18 said that FIFA is to reconsider the format of the 2026 World Cup
in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
The teams will increase from 32 to 48 for the competition
and were set to be divided into 16 groups of three, with the top two
progressing to the last 32, the report added.
