England: the 20 Premier League clubs unanimous against a proposed biennial World Cup

The 20 Premier League clubs have unanimously opposed FIFA's proposal to hold men's World Cups every two years, as well as any plans involving significantly extended international windows, announced the English Professional Football League on 11/11/2021.

The clubs who "have discussed the post-2024 International Match Calendar reform process, raised concerns about the negative impacts FIFA's current proposals would have on player welfare, the fan experience, pre-season preparations and the quality of competitions," said the Premier League.

The Premier League is hosting World Leagues Forum's annual general meeting in London (ENG) on Thursday 02 and Friday 03/12/2021.

FIFA's 211 national member associations will meet by videoconference on Monday 20/12/2021 "to discuss the future of football after receiving a detailed update on the ongoing consultation process on the topic," announced the world body on 20/10/2021. No vote will be taken at the end of the global summit.
