UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin says he is unsure if the European governing body will back FIFA's plans to expand the 2026 World Cup.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino is pushing for an expansion of the tournament to 48 teams, with a format of 16 groups of three teams before a straight knock-out competition.
Infantino outlined five options which he wants to be considered at next month's key meeting in Zurich in a letter to members of the world governing body's council, but Ceferin says FIFA have not replied to their request for more details of the proposals and claims they have been getting information from the media about the plans.
Asked if UEFA would back an expanded tournament, Ceferin said: "I am not sure we are getting that way.
"We don't have much information from FIFA, we mainly read from newspapers about what is supposed to go on...[and] we get different formats every day.
"Until we get some concrete information about the format, about everything else, we simply don't have any information."
Ceferin said he hoped UEFA would get more details when the secretary generals of the continental confederations meet in Tokyo in December.
"We asked in October for an appropriate analysis to show what it means to extend the World Cup and FIFA didn't produce it," he said.
"So without proper information, we can't say that we will be interested in that kind of World Cup."
