As FIFA prepares the framework for the 2026 World Cup, soccer’s lawmakers are weighing their most ambitious Video Assistant Referee expansion yet—one that could reshape how the sport is officiated at its highest level.

With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Gianni Infantino has made a huge push for FIFA to test a new anti–time-wasting rule.

Beneath the hype surrounding Milan versus Como in Australia lies a deeper concern — a bureaucratic obstacle still unresolved, and an impending decision that could determine whether this match becomes a landmark moment or collapses entirely.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gianni Infantino both stand at the center of a controversy that has shaken the foundations of soccer governance. What happened this summer for Lionel Messi at the 2025 Club World Cup has now re-emerged on a much bigger stage, placing FIFA under unprecedented scrutiny.

A national team announced that it will boycott the draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup for reasons unrelated to soccer.

The first promotional poster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was meant to celebrate global stars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Vinicius Jr. But one question overshadowed the excitement: why was Cristiano Ronaldo missing?

FIFA president Gianni Infantino, speaking at the 2025 Ole Summit, delivered a bold message about Messi’s place in soccer history. Yet the statement was shrouded in mystery, introduced through a curious five-word claim that Infantino highlighted, astonishingly overlooking an equally historic reality involving Cristiano Ronaldo.

FIFA reportedly stood firm on its decision regarding the rosters for next year’s World Cup.

The draw for the intercontinental playoff that will award the final two places in the World Cup 2026 was held by FIFA.

Although some national teams that have qualified directly for the 2026 World Cup are already set, the journey to the tournament continues. Several teams still need to secure their spots in the playoffs, and UEFA has revealed the draw, offering some surprise matchups.

With Carlo Ancelotti as coach, Brazil have improved noticeably in the FIFA rankings, moving ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal just days before the World Cup 2026 draw.
