The world of football continues to renew itself and within the different changes that competitions are undergoing, the most important, the world, is also about to become a biennial event. But this idea does not like Mino Raiola. The footballers’ representative has exploded against the possibility that this will end up being approved within the FIFA, a body against which the Italian-Dutch has also harshly charged.
“FIFA believes itself to be the lover of football and would like to have a World Cup every two years. But FIFA does not have any player. It is a body that only produces controversy and must be completely changed,” Raiola said in an interview in RAI this Friday. But the entity is determined to hold a World Cup every less time. “Most fans would like the World Cup to be more frequent and of this majority, the preferred frequency is every two years.” That is the summary offered by FIFA after knowing the conclusions that this great consultation carried out by the companies has left them IRIS and YouGov last July.
Gianni Infantino assured this same month that everything is heading towards that point when presenting the proposal of variation of the calendar. The project, according to the current FIFA Development Director, Arsène Wenger, would consist of grouping the qualifying matches into two international windows, between October and March, and at the end of the season, the celebration of that great competition, be it the World Cup or the Eurocup.

But it is not Raiola’s only war against FIFA. The agency has long declared war on the agents of the footballers. In addition, it supports the example from Memphis Depay, which before signing for Barça announced without giving too many explanations that he had left SEG Agency, company that represented him during the last years. The issue is that the entity wants to regulate the work of the representative and the commissions that are carried out by the signings.
“Agents are not the evil of football as some say. If you buy a Rolls-Royce and it doesn’t work, the problem is not the driver. If the owners of the clubs do not know how to manage the clubs, the problem is not we the agents, “the representative specified in the interview this Friday. The empire of the representatives, dominated by the great figures such as Mino, Jonathan Barnett or the well-known Jorge Mendes, it could be staggered if this trend continues and the threats that FIFA has been launching against them for years are fulfilled.
