BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — The president of South America’s soccer confederation has reiterated that teams from the region would boycott FIFA’s plans for a biennial World Cup and said there is “no chance” that such a proposal will go through.
Alejandro Dominguez, the president of CONMEBOL, told The Associated Press on Thursday that it’s a “waste of time” for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to continue pushing his desire to stage a World Cup every two years.
“CONMEBOL will not play every two years and that is final. … It is a ‘no go,’ there’s no chance,” Domínguez said in an interview. “This (plan) was dead at birth, we have made it clear from day one.”
