The FIFA go ahead with the idea of World Cup every two years after a summit among the 211 member associations, which he tried to seduce with the benefits that this radical change will bring for future calendars.
Specifically, the highest body of world football explained that revenues would increase from € 3.9 billion to € 10.11 billion in the next four years, according to a part of the presentation seen by The Associated Press.
Gianni Infantino, FIFA president, has so far faced CONMEBOL, UFEA and even the International Olympic Committee (IOC) but, even so, he is still in line and that is why he called this summit, which will also increase the status of the FIFA at the cost of reducing the windows for other events such as European Cups or America Cups to take place.
FIFA itself has commissioned a market investigation to Nielsen and the Open Economics organization to endorse that football could be enriched with the World Cups every two years. A macroeconomic analysis is being promoted that shows GDP gains of more than 160 billion in 16 years, compared to an unquantifiable 70 billion now, through which they have been organized so far every four years. FIFA also states that sponsorship and television rights will grow significantly along with the increase in tickets, with member associations obtaining profits of 8 million instead of the current 5.3.
