UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said Thursday holding the World Cup every two years would "kill football" and warned of a potential large-scale boycott if FIFA moves forward with the idea.
Ceferin told Martyn Ziegler of The Times (h/t Reuters) both UEFA and CONMEBOL, the sport's South American governing body, are staunchly opposed to the plan.
"We can decide not to play in it," he said. "As far as I know, the South Americans are on the same page. So good luck with a World Cup like that. I think it will never happen as it is so much against the basic principles of football.
