Even if this wish of Infantino bears fruit, any official change of the calendar is possible only after the World Cup in 2030, since the talks with the interested parties in the international calendar from 2024 to 2030 are ongoing. On the other hand, Infantino believes that he will have enough time to implement the revolution, given that he announced last week that he intends to be the head of FIFA for three full terms, which means that he would be in office until 2031.##EDITORS_CHOICE##However, a big fight awaits him, since at the moment UEFA and the South American CONMEBOL are jointly acting against the idea of shortening the break between the World Cups. Arsene Wenger recently proposed that the World Cup be played every two years, which caused a negative reaction from the leaders of European and South American football. It is believed that they are also against Infantino’s idea.For now, FIFA does not want to publicly comment on anything, but it seems that the world football association is quite determined to introduce major changes in connection with the reorganization of the existing calendar.
