Lto obsession of the FIFA who drives Infantino The fact that the World Cup is held every two years continues to accumulate criticism even before it is approved. The last one was the president’s UEFA, Aleksander ceferin, who has reiterated his opposition to what he considers “a bad idea” that, in his opinion, It will affect other competitions such as the Olympic Games and the Women’s World Cup itself.
Most federations with the presence of powerful teams, such as the RFEF, are against FIFA’s plans, as are those that make up CONMEBOL. However, this does not seem to alter Infantino and that worries Ceferin, in statements collected by L’Equipe: “Europe and South America are against and They are the only ones who have World Cup champions. The problem is that this has to take place every four years to be interesting. “
If held, a biennial World Cup will involve the coincidence of several competitions, such as the Women’s World Cup and the Olympic Games, arousing even the concern of the IOC itself, reason why the president of the UEFA discards it for the future. “It is simply a bad idea and it won’t happen because it is a bad idea “, value Ceferin.
Finally, the top leader of the European body irony about the impact of the World Cup every two years on the football calendar: “Why not do it every six months then? You can do it every month, every week. It is not that simple. Why is the Olympic Games held every four years? Because it is an event that you should expect, plan and enjoy.”
