## Resource

Ghana’s manager Carlos Queiroz is blasting FIFA for expanding the World Cup to 48 teams, arguing it’s killing the tournament’s magic by making qualification too easy — especially for African giants who now get automatic spots. He insists true triumph comes from scarcity, and with more teams in, the competition’s soul is fading. While FIFA claims the move boosts global appeal and revenue, critics see it as a cash grab that undermines the World Cup’s historic prestige — once a rare, elite event, now a bloated spectacle with whispers of 64 teams by 2030.
