I don't know, the Euros take 24 out of 53 members, that's nearly half. Asian Cup and African Nations are going up to 24 as well. As more teams play in continental games, they get stronger.
The World Cup takes 32 out of 207. That's 15%. 48 would be 23%.
Yes some regions are bad but they have to grow somehow. The FAs need to know they have a chance at the big show. We could get some cool stories. Like war-torn Syria probably would have qualified for a 48 team world cup this time around.
