Great workhorse of the Swiss Gianni Infantino, the increase in the frequency of World Cups is coming back to the fore. Arsène Wenger, a time defender of this idea as director of football in the instance, has, for his part, backtracked.
Instead of a World Cup every two years, FIFA would now like to install a World Cup every… three years, instead of four currently. According to information from Daily MailGianni Infantino, motivated by the commercial and sporting success of the World Cup in Qatar, would like to speed up the pace slightly.
A World Cup could also see the light of day again in winter, this time in Europe, to imitate the last edition, which took place between November and December 2022 for climate and heat reasons. In Europe, the temperatures being particularly cold in winter, installing a World Cup during this period does not seem to be a matter of common sense.
