There has been a lot of talk in the footballing world recently about moving the World Cup from every four years to every two years. This has mainly been met with a subdued response and appears to be something that many people in and out of the game would not want. But taking that aside, would it actually work, and what would it mean to the competition that we all know and love as fans?
One of the biggest names in football is behind this potential move. Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has created a new international calendar, which would see the World Cup played every two years.
Two of the main reasons for his plan are to cut down on travelling and to try and give more teams an opportunity to make the World Cup finals. The tournament has taken place every four years since 1930, but over 100 countries that play football have never made the finals. This wouldn’t make them any better at football but would give them double the chance of getting through.
