The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach praised the idea of the International Football Federation (FIFA) to hold the World Cup every two years. He is quoted by AIPS media.
“The proponents of this plan are making the mistake of thinking that the behavior of the World Cup every two years will bring FIFA twice as much money,” Bach said, and stressed that increasing profits is the only argument being made in favor of the project.
The IOC President noted that the players were also critical of the idea. “We saw active players who said that the World Cup every two years was ‘overkill’ and would pose a threat to their health and well-being,” Bach said.
The World Cup is the main international football tournament held under the auspices of FIFA every four years. The current world champion is the French national team.
