NATIONS - UEFA and CONMEBOL will boycott World Cup every two years

FIFA may want to promote the development of football on the planet, it has alienated a lot of people by offering a World Cup organized every two years. Gianni Infantino and Arsene Wenger have started lobbying the "small" federations to try to impose this decision but that does not please the old world of the round ball. Aleksandr Ceferin had already worried a few days ago about this new idea but this time, he goes further.

Fearing the fatigue of the players, the refusal of the clubs to let them go and a certain weariness of the whole industry, the president of the UEFA affirms in an interview with The Times that the European body will boycott a biennial world, in the same way as the South American federation, CONMEBOL. And inevitably, a competition without the great European and South American nations, it would no longer have the same flavor ...

“We can decide not to go. As far as I know, South Americans are on the same page. So good luck with a World Cup like this. I think that will never happen because it is so contrary to the basic principles of football, ”began a determined Ceferin. “Playing a month-long tournament every summer is a killer for the players. If it's every two years, we come up against the Women's World Cup, the Olympic football tournament. The value of the World Cup is precisely because it takes place every four years. We wait for him. It's like the Olympics, it's a huge event. I do not see our federations supporting this. I hope FIFA will come to their senses. (...) The World Cup and the Euro should take place every four years. These competitions are so interesting because they take place every four years. Every two years, that would not bring double the income. It could be good for UEFA financially, but the problem is we would kill football like that. We would kill the players. I don't see the clubs letting the players go and that would divide us completely. " The threat is posed.
