Infantino: ‘FIFA did not propose to hold the World Cup every two years’
Gianni Infantino stressed that FIFA did not propose to hold the World Cup every two years, but instructed the relevant bodies to conduct an investigation in this direction.
The proposal for a world cup to be held every two years was not discussed at the Fifa congress on Thursday. The president of world football’s governing body, Gianni Infantino, gave more information on the subject in his speech.
In particular, he emphasized that FIFA is not proposing to hold the World Cup every two years, but has ordered the relevant investigation to conduct an investigation into it.
“FIFA did not propose a World Cup every two years. Let’s clarify the process. The last FIFA Congress asked the relevant bodies to launch a World Cup investigation every two years.
That is exactly what the relevant FIFA bodies, led by Arsene Wenger, did. FIFA did not propose anything but concluded that it was possible but would have some implications.
We found it possible, but also positive for much of the world. But of course there was a lot of resistance and that’s where a debate should start.” expressly mentioned.
