Members of the Nigeria Football Federation yesterday unanimously endorsed its President, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick’s support of a two-year World Cup cycle, brought forward at the FIFA Congress three months ago by FIFA President, Gianni Infantino.
The report cited CAF President, Dr. Patrice Motsepe and football legends, Lothar Matthaeus and Gary Lineker, are among the leading campaigners to half the current four-year cycle of football’s flagship competition.“With the World Cup being played every four years, the opportunity to have this experience is too rare and spread over too great a time.
The NFF supremo, a member of the 37-member FIFA Council that is the highest decision-making organ for world football, also insists that a two-year World Cup will hasten the infrastructural development of host nations – which would be more this time – and also create more wealth, lead to more FIFA projects.
