Arsene Wenger has met with Gareth Southgate to try to win
him and other senior international coaches over to the idea of holding a World Cup every two years.
The England manager is a big fan of sports being
reinvigorated by new formats and new competitions and has
enjoyed the addition of The Hundred into cricket.
However, he fears the FIFA project would be used to overload the players' calendar further while undermining what makes the World Cup special in the first place.
In his role as chief of football development, Wenger is leading FIFA's concerted push to try to shoehorn World Cups into the calendar every two years after 2024.
The proposal would squeeze the same amount of
international football into fewer breaks, with extended
qualifying spells in October and March as well as summer
tournaments.

This makes no sense...
