Links to match reports
Didn't know where else to post this but many of the links to FIFA match reports from past tournaments seem to redirect to Fifa's homepage. From what I can see Fifa has moved and updated the pages. Hundreds of links are now potentially useless. Firestar47 (talk) 18:35, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I looked for an example. 1998 FIFA World Cup links the first match Brazil–Scotland to the broken https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/france1998/matches/match/4000/ (don't click if you are epileptic). I found an apparent replacement at https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/1998france/match-center/4000. So they changed many parts of the url but it may be systematic changes making it possible to guess replacements. I tried another example. 2010 FIFA World Cup links the first match to https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/southafrica2010/matches/match/300061454/. The same changes would produce https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/2010southafrica/match-center/300061454. That fails, but it works if a hyphen is inserted in south-africa: https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/2010south-africa/match-center/300061454. I'm not planning to fix these links but this may help somebody willing to work on it. PrimeHunter (talk) 19:35, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Nice work. Ideal thing really would be if someone higher up did a program to change all the links in one go. Firestar47 (talk) 19:53, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Fifa world cup isn’t just a competition between the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, but also for women. The women page is called "fifa womens world cup" VS "fifa world cup". Yes these two cups have diffent history and happend at different times so it would be correct to have two different pages, but if it’s a page about fifa world cup in general and it’s history it would be innacurate to say it’s just a competition between men. 2A01:799:1C23:1B00:759B:587C:E23F:B52D (talk) 18:48, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * There's a separate article for the women's event: FIFA Women's World Cup. We don't need one combined article for two separate events with different histories. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:04, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

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)
 * ✅ This was caused by an automated edit removing &lt;small&gt;&lt;/small&gt; 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)
