Huge controversy around the world is aroused by the latest idea to change the schedule, which President Gianni Infantino is trying to push through. The Swiss intends to organize both women’s and men’s world championships every two years instead of four. This idea is strongly opposed by the two largest continental confederations – South American CONMEBOL and European UEFA, but the 51-year-old continues to try to convince everyone of his plan.
The IOC furious with Gianni Infantino. He canceled his visit to Beijing at the last minute
It turns out, however, that not only activists from South America and Europe are opposed to the controversial idea of the FIFA president. Gianni Infantino has just come under fire from the representatives. The committee did not like the fact that the most important football activist did not appear at the meeting of IOC members, which was organized in Beijing just before the start of the games.
– We would all like to discuss the FIFA proposal for the biennial world championship. Contrary to expectations, a conversation with Mr. Infantino is not possible because the day before yesterday he canceled his visit to Beijing – said the IOC president to 100 members of the committee present at the meeting.
he is currently in Kameurna, where the African Cup of Nations is being played. Until the very end, however, he announced that he would appear in Beijing. However, it seems he changed his mind at the last minute. The president of FIFA probably wanted to avoid the attacks by IOC members that he could have expected from the situation in December. It was then that, at an online meeting, the Swiss was subjected to such serious criticism that he did not even decide to put his motion to the vote.
