FIFA is proposing to add 8 more teams to the 2023 Women's World Cup, asking its ruling council to approve of the idea within days and without a formal meeting. 

Current setup includes 24 teams. 

FIFA President Gianni Infantino believes that the success of the 2019 Women's World Cup showed the commercial viability of the tournament, as well as its importance in speeding up the development of the women's game.
