Still mixed on that WC increase. WC is an exclusive accomplishement IMO and with this change it waters that down. 9 African teams? Quick name 9 African countries.
Canada will almost have qualified under that format if it was in place this time around, with still 6 matches to be played.

Because FIFA has 200 members so 48 teams still is not even 25%. Euro is now 24 out of 53.
The women's world cup is also bring expanded, to 32 in 2023.
