(Reuters) - FIFA's plans for a biennial World Cup would have a 'profoundly detrimental' impact on the women's game and fundamentally alter its development, Europe's top women's leagues and European governing body UEFA said on Monday.

In a joint statement , the organisations criticised the consultation process FIFA employed while conducting a feasibility study into holding the men's and women's World Cup on a biennial basis. "The fast-paced nature of the very selective consultation process and all-but agreed proposals have not allowed a careful reflection on what is in the best interests of... women's football or adequately assessed the possible irreversible consequences such a change might entail," the statement said.

"Our reservations centre on our desire for a balanced and inclusive global development that gives women and girls the best conditions to play the most beloved game at all levels and in every society."
