At the European Clubs' Association (ECA) General Assembly in Geneva on Monday, Al-Khelaifi, European Clubs' Association (ECA) chairman and who is also the president of Paris Saint-Germain, knocked down Wenger's suggestion.
In his capacity as FIFA's director of development, former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is overseeing a consultation process on staging a World Cup every two years. "What people desire now are high-stakes, simple-to-understand tournaments," he said last week, emphasizing that the idea had "no financial motive."
Al-Khelaifi stated that FIFA's prospective overhaul of the international calendar requires "honest participation, not unilateral and self-interested decisions," before warning that the alterations may jeopardize "players' health and well-being - and the clubs carry all the risk."
"International competition cannot suffocate fans' and players' connections to clubs, without which international competition wouldn't exist," he added.
