UEFA president Ceferin has 'grave concerns' over holding World Cup every two years

FIFA is currently exploring the idea of doubling the frequency of the competition but the UEFA chief is worried about the impact of such a move

UEFA has "grave concerns" about plans to hold the World Cup every two years, president Aleksander Ceferin says.

The idea to make the tournament a biennial event has gained traction since it was first raised at a FIFA congress in May and the governing body is carrying out a feasibility study.

But Ceferin is upset by FIFA's lack of consultation with UEFA and the impact that such a move would have.
