2018 FIFA World Cup

The 2018 FIFA World Cup will be the 21st edition of the FIFA World Cup that is taking place in the European part of Russia from June 8 to July 8. There is expected to be 32 teams or 40 teams participating in the tournament from five or six confederations.

The news say the FIFA World Cup might expand from 32 to 40 teams, so they can have five in each group instead of four.

Russia automatically qualifies as the host nation, with their last appearances being in United States 1994, South Korea/Japan 2006, and Brazil 2014. Four years earlier, Russia hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics and the 2014 Winter Paralympics, and their team qualified for Brazil 2014.
