Uefa and PM criticise Infantino World Cup plan
Uefa and the Prime Minister have voiced their criticism of Fifa President Gianni Infantino’s plan to hold the World Cup every two years.
The proposal, put forth by Infantino, suggests increasing the frequency of the tournament from every four years to every two years. Uefa, the governing body for European football, has expressed concerns about the impact such a change would have on the existing football calendar and the health and well-being of players.
In response to the plan, Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin stated that “the current model works just fine,” highlighting the success and tradition of the tournament in its current format. He also emphasized the need to prioritize the interests of the players and the overall quality of the sport.
The Prime Minister echoed Uefa’s sentiments, raising questions about the potential consequences of more frequent World Cup tournaments on players’ fitness and the overall integrity of the game. The Premier League has also opposed the proposal, citing similar concerns.
On the other hand, Fifa President Gianni Infantino has argued that a biennial World Cup would provide more opportunities for countries that do not regularly qualify for the tournament. He believes it would help in the development of football globally and generate more revenue for the sport.
The debate over the proposed changes is ongoing, with various stakeholders expressing divergent views on the matter.
