The expanded 48-team format introduces the Round of 32 for the very first time. This new knockout stage means that weaker nations who sneak through as the best third-placed team still face an immediate elimination risk. It also means more top-quality knockout football earlier in the tournament — the drama that defines World Cups arrives from day 24 rather than day 36 as in the old format.
