The truce of the confectioners, very little for him.

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin never misses an opportunity to reiterate his opposition to the World Cup plan every two years.

“Europe and South America are against it and they are the only ones that have World Cup winners.

The problem is that the World Cup has to take place every four years to be interesting, ”he said Thursday at Expo 2020 in Dubai, according to comments reported by

L'Equipe

.

"Why not every six months then?"

"

The leader then detailed the reasons for his refusal to see the idea of ​​his friend Gianni Infantino succeed - beyond the fact that it would seriously infringe on the revenues of the Confederation for which he is responsible. “If it took place every two years, it would hurt women's football because it would be held the same year as the Women's World Cup. It would affect other sports, the Olympic Games, in short a lot of things. It's just a bad idea and it won't happen because it's a bad idea, ”attacked Ceferin.

The president of Fifa, for his part, continues to consult and send emissaries to convince the world.

Africa has already declared itself in favor, Asia could also subscribe to it.

A "majority of supporters" would even be in favor of the project, according to a slightly biased survey of the International Federation.

Either way, a decision should be made in 2022, and the battle promises to be fierce.

"Why not do it every six months then?"

Or every month, every week?

", Ceferin quipped.

We're going to have a great year.
