UEFA slam FIFA with 'serious concerns' over biennial World Cup plans

The European federation says that there are "real dangers" that could impact all levels of football

UEFA have "serious concerns" over FIFA's proposal for a biennial World Cup, with the federation saying those proposing the plan have excluded stakeholders from discussions over the proposed schedule.

FIFA has proposed a dramatic change to world football that would see the World Cup held every two years, with UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin already stating that Europe could boycott the World Cup if the change goes ahead.

UEFA have pointed to the impact such changes could have on club football, players and other international competitions like the Euros, Olympics and Women's World Cup, relaying what they see as "real dangers" that would arise from the potential changes.
