FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on Wednesday that increased revenues from a biennial World Cup would create opportunities for Africans who otherwise could migrate and find"death in the sea" crossing the Mediterranean.

FIFA has said that the additional funds would help reduce the gap in revenues between the developed and less developed football markets. "This topic is not about whether we want a World Cup every two years, but about what do we want to do for the future of football," Infantino said."If we think about the rest of world and the vast majority of Europe, then we have to think about what football brings.
