(Reuters) - The head of global soccer players' union FIFPRO criticised FIFA's lack of consultation with stakeholders before proposing its biennial World Cup plan, saying it raised serious concerns by adding more pressure to the international calendar.

World soccer's ruling body announced a feasibility study on holding the men's and women's World Cups every two years instead of four -- a proposal which has been met with strong opposition from European governing body UEFA and South America's CONMEBOL.

"There is a chance of a real breaking point in football around this if it is not funnelled into a proper process," Baer-Hoffmann was quoted as saying by the Times on Wednesday.
