According to recent reports, the world football governing body FIFA has commenced processes that could see the World Cup is held every two years.
This move is to be considered, after issues of the coronavirus pandemic ravaged the finances of many clubs and nations.
Recent FIFA election on the proposal
The recent FIFA election on the aforementioned proposal has seen candidates vote in its favour.
According to emanating statements, the FIFA congress has voted in favour of observing the possibility of hosting the world cup every two years. As opposed to its current stand of four years.
The Genesis of the move was initiated by the President of the Saudi Arabian soccer association. In his view, he expressed the belief that a change to the current norm would improve the finances of many countries.
Reasons for the proposal
A couple of months ago, FIFA president Gianni Infantino and his board members expressed concerns over the level of inequality among footballing countries.
In their statements, worries were expressed over the wide domination of European Countries over others.
Moving on, he made mention of an undisputed fact about European football domination. More often than not, Europe is given more slots at every footballing event, as opposed to other continents.
This slot discrepancy gets the noses of European teams in front, even before the commencement of these footballing events.
A good example is the recurring situation of the later stages of the World Cup event. More often than not, these stages are dominated largely by European and South American nations.
Conclusion
Without a doubt, the adjustment of the World Cup timing would do a lot for most countries financially. Nonetheless, it would also disrupt the current football calendar.
In line with the pros and cons, we keep our fingers crossed to see the next action to be taken by these FIFA executives.
