Buoyed by the success of this year's European Championship, UEFA is exploring whether to expand the event again to create a 32-team tournament. But UEFA is starting to analyze the feasibility of 32 of its 55 member nations contesting the European Championship from 2028, people with knowledge of the process told The Associated Press. Ultimately, it could replace the European Championship qualifying system while configured to ensure leading nations still have a clear route to the finals. A 32-team European Championship would reduce that jeopardy further in the group stage. There is no clear timeline of when UEFA could decide on expanding the European Championship.
