FIFA President Gianni Infantino called the 2026 World Cup the best tournament in history, writes sports.ru.

«The final will be like a real fireworks display. It will be something incredible. The world will seemingly stop, and three billion people will see how this World Cup concludes.

The World Cup is truly wonderful, unique, and incredible. The best footballers and national teams are playing here, stadiums are full, and a true celebration reigns everywhere.

The world stops and watches. This is the best World Cup in history — considering both the past and the present. Moreover, it prepares us for the future. I imagined the tournament would be massive, but not to this extent. Not with such scope, not with such atmosphere, celebration, and energy.

Happiness reigns worldwide. Of course, if you lose, you're sad, but people came from all corners of the planet to celebrate football. We had no incidents. People from all over the world came here, and they are all celebrating football.

All champions played in the tournament, but new teams and new countries also emerged. We saw stories that only football can write and turn into legend», — said Infantino.

Today at midnight Belarusian time, the 3rd place match between England and France will take place.

Tomorrow at 22:00 (10 PM) in East Rutherford, the final between Spain and Argentina.

This year, for the first time, 48 teams participated in the FIFA World Cup. From 1982 to 1994, 24 national teams participated, and from 1998, 32 national teams.

But Infantino stated that, perhaps, in the future, 64 national teams will participate in the World Cup (FIFA currently has 211 national teams).

    Што гэтая Інфанціліна ведае пра шчасце? Толькі колькі лямаў сабе ў кішэню пакладзе.

    Гэтая постаць не адпавядае сваёй пасадзе, яму на базары рыбай гандляваць, а не ФІФА ўзначальваць. Інфанціна, гэта й ёсьць тая лыжка дзёгцю на мундыялі.
