Luis Figo Releases His Manifesto - He wants the World Cup teams Increased.


Luis Figo, one of three candidates in the running to become FIFA President. He forms part of three candidates challenging the reigning president Sepp Blatter.
42 year old former ballon d'Or winner in reading his manifesto stated he would like to expand the number of teams playing in the world cup to 40 or even 48.
He further explained, the current format could be increased to 40 teams or FIFA organising a 24 team competition that would be staged on 2 different Continents simultaneously then a knockout phase in one nations.
These options are feasible with an extra three to four days of tournament play. If this expansion were to take place I believe that additional teams should come from non-European nations.
He also emphasised on FIFA spending significant revenues on the development of the game globally.
Luis Figo promised to bring back the old Offside rule where when a player is directly or indirectly interfering a play is rules offside.
