SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) criticised the idea of a biennial World Cup on Friday, saying such plans were “highly unviable” and would put a “practically impossible burden” on football’s international calendar.

Its stance comes as world soccer’s governing body FIFA undertakes a feasibility study into the match calendar.

“Under the current conditions, it is already complicated to reconcile times, schedules, logistics, and the adequate preparation of teams and commitments,” CONMEBOL said in a statement. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has warned that European nations could boycott a biennial World Cup competition. The World Leagues Forum, which represents the main domestic club competitions, has also opposed the proposals.
