FIFA To consider possibility of hosting World Cup every 2 years

Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) has put forward a proposal for a study of the impact of switching to every two years. Men's and Women's World Cup are currently held every four years.

FIFA will carry out a feasibility study on holding the men's and women's World Cup every two years after backing a proposal at its annual congress on Friday. The two competitions are currently held every four years but the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) put forward a proposal for a study of the impact of switching to every two years. "We believe the future of football is at a critical juncture. The many issues that football has faced have now been further exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic," said SAFF president Yasser Al-Misehal.
