MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - FIFA's plans for a biennial World Cup would lead to a 'direct and destructive impact on the club game', Europe's top clubs organisation said on Friday.

The ECA, which represents 234 European clubs, did not state what obligations it was referring to, but the organisation has made a series of agreements with UEFA and global soccer body FIFA regarding the calendar. FIFA is conducting a feasibility study into holding the World Cup on a biennial basis, a change from the current four- yearly cycle, but has made no secret of its desire to switch to such a format.

"ECA has therefore followed with grave concern and alarm FIFA’s launch of active PR campaigns and much pretence, apparently seeking to railroad through reforms to the IMC, particularly the introduction of a biennial World Cup," it said.
