Since the external publication copied Misplaced Pages rather than the reverse, please do not flag this article as a copyright violation of the following source: Worldcup Central Additional comments The lead of the Misplaced Pages article develops a number of minor changes over time, ending with the removal of "(soccer)", which matches the external site. On 12 August 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to FIFA Men's World Cup. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Why does AFC have their number of hosts 2 (not counting Saudi Arabia 2034) but every other confederation counts future tournaments?

Like Africa counts South Africa 2010 and Morocco 2030 as 2 in total and North America has 4 (counting the upcoming 2026) but AFC only counts Japan/Korea 2002 and Qatar 2022, not counting Saudi Arabia 2034 142.113.207.182 (talk) 03:05, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

The table in the section "Attendance" shows the commands "align=left" in the rows 2026, 2030, and 2034, in the last two columns. Grawiuton (talk) 21:21, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done This was caused by an automated edit removing <small></small> tags. I'm honestly not sure why these prevent the align parameters being visible, but I put them back to hide it again. Thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 01:18, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

I believe "World Cup" should redirect here
