The tournament is expected to see significant advancements in many aspects, ranging from modern technologies in refereeing and stadiums to the expansion of the number of participating teams.

The history of the World Cup is a story of competition, challenge, and sporting achievements that have transcended time and space, undergoing a remarkable transformation from the first edition, held under simple conditions, to the contemporary tournaments that are considered a global event attracting widespread attention.
