The UEFA President, the ukrainian Aleksander ceferin, went back this Thursday to demonstrate against holding a World Cup every two years and he assured that doing so “would cannibalize women’s football, the Olympic Games, and ultimately other sports.”
“It is simply a bad idea because it would end up cannibalizing the other sports disciplines”Ceferin emphasized, again opposing the idea promoted by the head of FIFA, Gianni Infantino.
“The World Cup has to be every four years to keep it interesting. It is the biggest event in football and more than 75 percent of fans in the world oppose the idea of doing it every other“He added in statements collected by the ANSA agency, made during his visit to Expo 2020 in Dubai.
Finally, and in relation to the new wave of coronavirus that affects Europe and the rest of the world and conditions the normal development of leagues, Ceferin he was “optimistic” to continue playing.
“I am optimistic, the great soccer events will still be able to continue and the spectators will be able to see them. Worrying does not help, you have to solve the problems first and we remain optimistic and We believe that everything will work out. The situation last year was worse because we did not know about the virus, and it was more difficult, “he concluded.
