‘It's a technical matter’ – Gambia’s Saintfiet wants coaches’ input on biennial World Cup

Gambia national team coach Tom Saintfiet stated that national team coaches have a say as it concerns organising a biennial Fifa World Cup.

Former Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, now Fifa’s chief of global football development, came out with the proposal to make the global football showpiece every two years.

The Frenchman’s suggestion would also see fewer international breaks, with condensed qualification campaigns in October and March.

With the study still ongoing, the Scorpions handler has weighed in on the hot topic and opined that the coaches of Fifa's 211 national associations should have input on any vote about making the competition biennial.
