UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said on Thursday it would be "a bad idea" for FIFA to expand the World Cup to 64 nations for the 2030 tournament.
The World Cup has already been expanded from 32 to 48 teams for next year's edition in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
The awarding of hosting rights for both tournaments will go to a vote during a FIFA Congress to be held virtually, but there is no doubt about the outcomes with neither bid having a rival.
FIFA will confirm the hosts of the 2030 and 2034 World Cups on Wednesday, with a joint bid led by Morocco, Spain and Portugal set to be awarded the former, and the latter being handed to Saudi Arabia.
World football's governing body announced on Wednesday that Morocco, Portugal and Spain will jointly host the 2030 showpiece but the opening games will be played in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay to celebrate the tournament's centenary.
