Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has criticised FIFA's plans for a biennial World Cup and expressed dismay that players have not been consulted.

Real Madrid’s Croatian midfielder Luka Modric attends a press conference at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev on October 18, 2021 on the eve of their UEFA Champions League football match against Shakhtar Donetsk.

World football’s governing body announced on Monday that it will hold talks with national team coaches this week over the controversial idea, which has been met by opposition from European and South American governing bodies UEFA and CONMEBOL, as well as the International Olympic Committee. “I don’t see the point of a World Cup every two years,” said Modric in a press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League game away at Shakhtar Donestsk on Tuesday.
