Eh, South America might still be ok since this year was very close and chile didnt make it (and they might get 7th place since they will probably get another playoff spot) but the other 3? 6 teams of Concacaf? 8 of AFC? 9 of CAF???

North America will have 6 (the entire Hex) South America will have 6 Africa will have 9!!! Asia will have 8!!! and Oceania will have 1 direct and also 2 playoff spots, not sure from which confederations yet This expansion is only made for the smaller countries to qualify, not European teams Confederation Total FIFA eligible members Percentage of members with places in finals Total places in finals (including host) Total places before 2026 (excluding host, including half-places) AFC 46 17% 8 4.5 CAF 54 17% 9 5 CONCACAF 35 17% 6 3.5 CONMEBOL 10 60% 6 4.5 OFC 11 9% 1 0.5 UEFA 55 29% 16 13 Play-Off 2 - Total 211 23% 48 31 (+ host) Thanks for this, I didn't actually paid attention on quotas. But that is too much for both, Asia and Africa. Needless to say that the quality will probably deteriorate Maxim Fastovsky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better than 10 extra places for Europe. Plus AFC and CAF have historically been better in accepting bribes If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
