European footballโs governing body UEFA has urged FIFA to stop pushing its plan for a two-year World Cup and instead to engage in โgenuine consultationโ over reform of the international match calendar.
FIFA is conducting a feasibility study into holding the World Cup on a biennial basis, a change from the current four-yearly cycle, but has made no secret of its desire to switch to such a format.
Arsene Wenger, the former Arsenal manager who is now FIFAโs head of Global Football Development, said this month he was โ100% convincedโ of the switch.
