According to an online poll released Thursday by FIFA in the middle of a discussion over its biannual World Cup project, the majority of football fans accept the concept of a "more frequent" World Cup.

According to research conducted by IRIS/YouGov among 15,000 individuals "interested in football," 55 percent of respondents want to witness the top international tournament more frequently than every four years, according to FIFA.

According to the poll, 30% of people want the World Cup to be hosted every two years, 11% every year, and 14% every three years, which is a very rare frequency in international sport.

The "younger generations in all areas" and "growing markets" are most supportive of the increased frequency, while elder football fans like the four-yearly event that has been in place since the first World Cup in 1930.
