I tend to apply “follow the money” logic to this situation. Bigger event more $$$$

Match its tournament to its market.

In case of World Cup expansion, Asia accounts for almost half of total soccer fans of the world. That’s a huge market. China and India are typical armchair expert soccer countries. Huge soccer population watching soccer games, talking about soccer and following soccer religiously, but few really playing soccer. It’s said people actually playing soccer in China and India are even less than Vietnam despite huge difference in their total population.
