The Premier League and the EFL have joined the growing ranks of opposition to the proposal to hold a World Cup every two years.
The leagues are members of the European Leagues group, which released a statement on Thursday morning saying it "firmly and unanimously opposed" plans from FIFA to shorten the gap between the showpiece tournament from four to two years.
The statement read: "The leagues have firmly and unanimously opposed any proposals to organise the FIFA World Cup every two years.
"The leagues will work together with the other stakeholders to prevent football governing bodies to take unilateral decisions that will harm domestic football which is the foundation of our industry and of utmost importance for clubs, players and fans across Europe and the world.
