Under the new Infantino blueprint, year one would see his expanded, 24-team, Club World Cup.
The middle summer would bring continental championships, such as the Euros and Copa America. And year three will be dominated by the World Cup.
Infantino hinted at the idea after last week’s congress of the 211-member associations in Doha, arguing it was “important to do something . . . whether it’s a World Cup every two years or every three years”.
