Plan to have a football World Cup tournament every two years receives positive response – FIFA's head of Global Football Development, Arsene Wenger
FIFA's plan to double the number of World Cups by holding the tournament every two years has received a "very positive response", Arsene Wenger, the man fronting the proposals, said late on Thursday.
Schmeichel said that none of the players who had attended the discussion had been against the idea of moving to a two-year cycle rather than the current four-year gap. Asked about that opposition and the risk of major conflict within the game, Wenger said he was just carrying out the role of developing a solution for the game.
"What we do today is part of it, but as well I will respect football's decision and I'm convinced as well that we can get everybody to accept that this is the best solution," he said. "A biennial World Cup is a threat not just to domestic football leagues but to the overall tradition of world football," he said.
