Tagliafico Criticizes World Cup Format

Argentine footballer Nicolás Tagliafico expressed critical views on the new format of the FIFA World Cup. He made these remarks following the group stage draw held in Washington, D.C., USA.

"I don't like it. Even the Qatar World Cup felt too long to me.

There, the distances were almost non-existent, everything was close. But this time, the tournament will last one week longer, and for teams reaching the final, it will be very challenging both physically and mentally," Tagliafico stated in an interview with derbyderbyderby.it.

For reference, the final stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will begin on June 11, 2026, and run until July 19, 2026. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
