KNVB chairman Just Spee and Secretary-General Gijs de Jong (pictured) are a little surprised by Gianni Infantinos statements. The FIFA boss claimed that a proposal was never made for a World Cup every two years.
At a FIFA congress in Qatar, Infantino made it clear that the World Cup will not be organized every two years. The union did research on it, but according to Infantino, FIFA “never made a proposal for a biennial World Cup”.
Against the Algemeen Dagblad, Spee and De Jong respond jointly on behalf of the KNVB to the Infantino statements. The two emphasize not to be in favor of a biennial World Cup. “But we were a little surprised when we heard Infantino say that FIFA never went for a World Cup every two years.”
By the way, the FIFA investigation revealed that a World Cup would be feasible every two years. However, the plans could count on criticism from unions and fans.
