CHEFERRIN: I'm sure the biennial World Cup isn't going to happen, it's a populist project that destroys football

UEFA President Ceferin said in an interview that he was sure that the biennial World Cup would not happen because it was complete nonsense.

On the topic of world cup restructuring, Cheferin said: "I am sure that this will not happen, it is completely chaotic. This project violates all the principles of sport and is a populist project that will destroy football. It's unbelievable that a football organization could allow players under enormous pressure to continue to play. And can we imagine how much this would be a blow to women's football? ”

"I'm not sure if they will understand, but I'm sure they've heard rejections from the fans, the authorities, the government and the EU."

"Of course, if FIFA wants to, it can vote to pass the reforms. But we should weigh the consequences of doing so, South America and we have made it clear that we will not be involved in this game, and the World Cup without us would not be a real World Cup. On the other hand, we have also received appeals from national football associations belonging to other leagues, which they have also expressed their opposition. ”

French FOOTBALL Association president Legrae said there are many lucrative games in Europe that should learn to share. Cheferin said: "He said so, and then I went to paris to meet him, and he said he would support UEFA's position. To be sure, the project is not about sharing, it is clearly for FIFA to make more money and weaken UEFA and SOUTH American Football Association. FIFA has $2 billion in reserves, and if it offers to share, then it should reallocate the money to those who need it. ”

Legráé was appointed FIFA representative in Paris and is also a UEFA member of fifa's board of directors. Commenting on the relationship between the two, Ceferin said: "Honestly, I don't know what it means to be a FIFA president in Paris, and if he likes the title, I don't have any problems. But if there is a vote on the World Cup, Legráue is on the same footing as we are. ”
