We can also decide not to play”. Alexander Ceferin, president of UEFA, has been positioned in connection with FIFA's plan to organise the World Cup every 2 years and not every 4 years, as it happens today.
During an interview with the prestigious British newspaper The Times, the number 1 European football issued a clear warning to FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
As far as I know, the South Americans are also on the same line. So goodbye to such a World Cup,” he said.
I think it's never going to happen, because it's contrary to the basic principles of football. Playing a month-long tournament, every summer, would be massacre for players.
If it is done every two years, it will clash with the Women's World and the Olympic football tournament”, complete its opposition Cefer.
“The World Cup value is great just because it's played every four years, you can't wait for it, it's like the Olympics, it's a big event. I don't see our federations supporting him”, the president of the country declared again UEFA.
Convention FIFA voted in large majority for a feasibility update to be carried out on the idea of a two-year World Cup, but according to Cefer the project should be rejected.
“I hope they come to their senses because I don't find sense. They didn't call me and I didn't get a letter or anything. I just read it in the media,” he finished.
