KUALA LUMPUR, April 6 (Xinhua) -- FIFA president Giovanni Vincenzo Infantino said here on Saturday that raising the numbers of participating teams for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar would be a nice achievement.

He added that the world football governing body is currently working on the possibilities with Qatar.

"Sharing a few games with a few of the neighboring countries is of course an option as well to make it a true World Cup for the world and for the whole gulf region," he said.

"Of course, it would only be a nice achievement, if the first World Cup with 48 teams to be played in Asia," he said, adding that the topic would be discussed during the FIFA Congress to be held in Paris, France in June.

Infantino also said FIFA was very happy with preparations for the World Cup in Qatar, with preparations ahead of schedule.
