UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin is confident that FIFA’s proposal for a biennial World Cup will be “off the table” soon.
While speaking at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit on Thursday, Čeferin highlighted the European soccer body’s close relationship with FIFA. “With FIFA we discuss regularly, and the biennial World Cup is a no-go for everyone in football,” he said.
Čeferin said UEFA is still in discussions with FIFA president Gianni Infantino but is “sure” they’ll come to a solution soon.
- Čeferin said he could see the Copa America champions face the European champions annually.
- On March 2, FIFA vice president Victor Montagliani suggested a revamped Confederations Cup or global Nations League to have teams in different confederations play each other.
“We cannot say football on other continents cannot be developed, but we should be aligned, and it should not hurt European and South American
Federations,” Čeferin continued.
Editors note: We are not in favor of the 2 year World Cup, too much strain on players, will devalue it, have records fall, overall not best for the game in keeping it truly special.
