How much would it cost to finance the revolution that FIFA wants: Continental championships every two years, equal to the World Cup

A few months ago, FIFA's intention to hold a World Cup every two years was known. The idea of the highest football entity is to shorten the period in which you enjoy watching the best teams on the planet. However, not only would the World Cup be the tournament that undergoes great changes, it would also be continental championships such as the Eurocup and America's Cup that would be played in alternate years, so that at the end of each season there would be a great competition.

"The aim is to continue improving the quality of football by improving the frequency of competitions in parallel with improving the rules of the game," explains FIFA World Football Development Director Arsène Wenger in an interview published this Friday by 'L'Équipe'. The former French coach, who is now working on the reorganization projects of national team competitions, denies that his initiatives are guided by economic objectives and that they would result in a hellish pace for the players.

"Not at all," he says. There will be no more matches than before and the national teams will be asked less frequently. The idea is to improve the quality of the game and the competitions. There is no financial intention behind, especially when FIFA distributes the money to all the federations in the world ”. In addition, a mandatory rest period would be set for players of at least 25 days after the finals.
