Sports director Max Eberl from the Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach has spoken out against a World Cup every two years.
“We have exciting competitions that we don't want to increase in number.
Football has gotten bigger, but it belongs to everyone.
I have the feeling that everyone in Europe thinks a World Cup every four years is sufficient, ”said the Bundesliga manager on Thursday.
Düsseldorf - Herbert Hainer as President of FC Bayern recently stated that the record champions were "clearly against".
The world association FIFA promotes the idea of a World Cup every two years, which has been heavily criticized by numerous associations.
The FIFA Council decided on Wednesday that a global summit should take place on December 20 to discuss the reform of the international match calendar.
According to the DFB, a vote on the question is “obsolete” this year.
