The International Olympic Committee is considering removing football from the Olympics.
That's an answer to FIFA, which you think the World Championship will host every two years.
The news has come from an IOC member who has preferred to remain anonymous.
“in Olympic Committee language, message FIFA is more than clear. But if you want football to remain at the Olympics, the plan for the World to be played every two years must be dropped. It would not be appropriate to play the World and Olympics in the same year”, he said of the British medium “The Times”.
President of the African Nations Olympic Committee Mustapha Berraf is also against the World every two years.
According to him, the World would put sports at risk every two years, especially football.
He added that football players are not robots to cope with this busy schedule.
