It would be a mistake to host the World Cup every two years according to Stewart Robson. (0:58)

Infantino believes he has majority support for his plan to switch the World Cup to a biennial format.

The leaders of national football federations met to discuss the proposal to increase the World Cup from four years to two.

A full 700-page report on the feasibility study will be published after a summary of the financial data was presented on Monday.

Critics of the proposals put forward analysis that was not in line with the findings.

The proposal from FIFA is flawed, but would address inequality.

European clubs, the top leagues and the president of the European governing body have objected to the tournament.

Infantino said that a majority of the international match calendar's members were in favor of the plan, but that it needed to be dealt with as part of the larger change of the international match calendar.

The majority of the population would vote in favor of a World Cup every two years, Infantino said.

He said that it was not the topic, but how we can make football better and how many we can bring on board with a new way of organizing the future in football.

Infantino wouldn't say when the vote would be held or if it would be on the agenda at the congress.

We will take the time to make the right decisions for football at the end of the day. I won't commit to anything at the congress. He said that everything is open and flexible.

He said that they hope to make progress one way or the other, or some middle way.

The president of the confederation for North and Central America and the Caribbean has proposed a solution.

An additional tournament could be a version of the old Confederations Cup, rather than a full World Cup with a separate qualification process, according to a recent interview with the head of the Canadian Soccer Association.

The World Leagues Forum commissioned a report last month that said the changes to the Club World Cup and the loss of TV rights could cost the big domestic soccer leagues around 8 billion per season.

A report commissioned by the European football governing body warned that the changes to the international calendar would see revenues for European national federations fall by between 2.5 billion and 3 billion over a four-year cycle.

The delegates at Monday's summit were told that a report by Open Economics had found that the revenues of domestic leagues and international club competition were not hurt by national team and international club competition.

The pros and cons of more frequent World Cups in the men's and women's games are assessed by Gab and Juls.

The World Cup plan would see revenues rise from an expected US$7 billion to US$11.4 billion over a four-year cycle, thanks to increased ticket receipts and media rights, according to a report.

The delegates were told that the extra revenue would go to a new "Member Association Solidarity Fund" with each national federation allocated around US$16m in a four-year period.

The funds will help reduce the gap in revenues between the developed and less developed markets.

The proposal has been opposed by the South American confederation.

The debate will change in the coming weeks according to the head of Global Football Development.

"We face opposition but what I regret is that most of the opposition is emotion and not facts and analysis, we have to get over this fear because most of the emotions that we face are based on fear," he said.
