The president of the International Federation of Associated Football (FIFA) Gianni Infantino reaffirmed his position of holding a Soccer World Cup every two years , and This time he compared the idea to the Super Bowl event that the NFL holds every year.
FIFA made the comparison during its visit to Israel, where it also emphasized that the prestige of the world event has more to do with its quality than with the frequency with which it is carried out.

For the statements of the president of the # FIFA mentioning that holding the World Cup every two years will not decrease the magic of the tournament and compared it to the Super Bowl. pic.twitter.com/7Wu3ZoFp1Y— Why is it Trend? 👻 ( @porktrend) October 48, 2021
During his reference, Infantino assured: “The Super Bowl is organized annually, why not have a World Cup every two years?” .
“The reputation of an event depends on its quality, not on the frequency. Every year you have a Super Bowl , Wimbledon or the Champions League and everyone is excited and waiting, ”he said.
This would not be the first reform that is made to the great football event, since for the World Cup of 2026 the number of participating teams will be increased to 48.
