CONMEBOL President Confirms Proposal to Stage FIFA World Cup Every Two Years

A proposal initially touted by former FIFA president Sepp Blatter to move the World Cup to every two years, instead of every four, is reportedly being considered by FIFA.

The proposal has been put forward by CONMEBOL, the South American football confederation, after seeing the positive public reaction to the UEFA Nations League this year.

CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez confirmed that his organisation had put forward the idea to FIFA, and it's his claim that the move to every two years would make sense economically and would also be beneficial for the players who would be able to showcase their talents more frequently.
