adminZURICH. — FIFA presidential candidate Gianni Infantino says he would press for the World Cup to be held in a whole region rather than one or two countries.
The UEFA general secretary has included the plan in his manifesto for the Fifa election on 26 February.
His idea follows European football’s governing body UEFA’s decision to play Euro 2020 in 13 different countries.
“Each confederation shall have to wait at least two editions before being able to host the World Cup again,” he said.
“This will ensure a more equitable rotation, while giving every confederation the opportunity to organise this unique event.” — BBC Sport.
