World Cup every two years? Many associations threaten with FIFA

The Union of European Football Associations (Officially French Union of the Associations Europénes de Football [ɥɛfa]; German Union European football associations [UEːFA] called), short UEFA [Juːeɪfə], is the European Football Association. UEFA is a non-profit association within the meaning of Article 60 ff. Of the Swiss Civil Code and registered in the commercial register. UEFA is one of the Six Continental Confederations of the World Football Association FIFA and includes 55 national football associations of individual countries and areas that are not all within the geographical boundaries of Europe.

In the dispute over a football World Cup in the two-year rhythm, it could come to the big showdown just before Christmas. According to the information of the Sport Picture , the World Association FIFA plans an extraordinary congress on 20 December to make the 211 member associations vote on a change in the international play calendar.

This is done from a letter to the 37 members of the FIFA Council, which also belongs to DFB co-interim president Peter Peters. The convening of the congress is a pure precaution , as it means in the letter.

This is to ensure the decision by FIFA President Gianni Infantino by the end of the year, if following the current thorough consultation procedure until this date, no general agreement is achieved on the international play calendar of men and women as well as the youth competitions .

On SID request, FIFA did not want to confirm the appointment, a decision on the convening of a congress could fall on the Council meeting on Wednesday (from 15.00 clock). This week, FIFA also discusses the reform in several online sessions with national coaches.

Nordic associations want to consider measures

The criticism of the FIFA plan is great, especially the European Football Union (UEFA) and the South American Association Conmebol afford fierce resistance and threatened with Boykott. At a congress, however, the two continental associations come only to 65 votes together. In the past week, the associations of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands had renewed their criticism of the plans and even brought an exit from FIFA as the last protest option.

Spain s League Boss Javier Tebas, however, fears an immense damage, should the proposal of FIFA be accepted. A World Cup every two years would destroy the complete ecosystem of football, especially in Europe, said the Laliga President in the interview with the Sport picture : Maybe leagues are reduced, the value of the TV rights for these leagues sinks, the Players earn less there. So we make football a sport of the elites. That s a big mistake.
