Football and other money games - World Cup every two years?

You can never have too much of a good thing, people say. But is it really like that?

FIFA administrators are searching for ways to change current formats of football. As a part of that plan FIFA approved a study on the validity of holding the World Cup every two years.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino appeared before the press after the 71st virtual FIFA Congress, and began by speaking about the potential changes to the World Cup an for it to take place more often rather than every four years.

"It's a way of promoting football, we must study what we can do to stimulate football and we must have an open mind," Infantino declared.

"We must see how it can fit into the international calendar, and how qualifying matches would be organised. The fans want to see more of the important matches and tournaments, the priority will be sporting and not a commercial thing."

The European Super League project and the reasons presented by the dirty dozen - the 12 infamous founder clubs - to defend their own ill-advised idea, have ironically been pretty similar to what Infantino said to be the driving force to the thought of having the World Cup more often.

Official figures released by FIFA showed the organisation made 4.8 billion USD (520 billion KSH) from revenue during the 2014 World Cup hosted in Brazil. According to financial predictions made by The New York Times, this increased to around six billion USD (650 billion KSH) for the 2018 World Cup held in Russia.

By doing some simple mathematics, we can come to a conclusion that the plan is that by making the World Cup an every-two-years-held event means there will be double all the factors, especially the number of tournaments played in the same time period.

So, the 6 billion US dollars reportedly made by FIFA for the Russian tournament, could in theory then be doubled if the tournament was played every two seasons.

But there is no way of proving if FIFA realised this before embarking on the aforementioned study.

The idea was proposed by no other than Arsene Wenger, who currently holds the position of FIFA's Head of Global Football Development.

He believes that the Champions League format is evidence that the World Cup's impact wouldn't be diluted if we saw it more frequently.

"I always tell people that the image is not linked to the time you wait for an event to take place, Wenger said, "for example we have the Champions League which is played every year, and fans continue to consume it." Wenger stated.

Players all over the world have already stated the schedules imposed upon them are already too hard to follow.

Even though the whole idea has FIFA and Wenger behind it, it still feels like money is the main engine and not the need of making football better.
