translated from Spanish: FIFA insists on reviewing the football calendar and making a World Cup every two years

FIFA President Gianni Infantino is determined to revise the football calendar, with the option of a World Cup every two years on the table, in favor of making it “more global” and listening to fans and all football players. During a conference with famous ex-footballers in Doha, the Technical Advisory Group met to contribute its vision and experiences on the difficulties posed by the current organization of the calendar. FIFA’s idea is to offer possible alternatives that balance some of the regional inequalities, “in order to make football truly global.” This was explained by Infantino, as an extensive consultation process led by FIFA’s Director of World Development, Arsène Wenger, at the request of 166 FIFA member associations at the 71st FIFA Congress, to review the current calendar. The former Arsenal coach has spoken in different interviews on the part of that option of having a World Cup every two years instead of every four. This Thursday, the European Leagues, an organization that brings together 13 football championships of the “old continent”, showed its “firm and unanimous” rejection of that change in “an already congested calendar”.
