FIFA's proposal of a biennial World Cup rather than holding it every four years as part of a revamped calendar has sparked a huge debate among many football stakeholders.
FIFA earlier in the year told delegates at a summit that a biennial World Cup would generate more than ksh 422 billion (£3.3bn) in additional revenue over a four-year cycle.
Footballers such as France striker Kylian Mbappe and Poland forward Robert Lewandowski have voiced their concerns over holding the World Cup every two years.
"The World Cup is the World Cup. It's a special thing because it's something held every four years.It is the best thing, the best competition in the world.
"If you hold it every two years, it can start to be normal to play [in the] World Cup. I want to say that's not normal. That should be something amazing.
"We play over 60 games in a year. You have Euros, the World Cup, now the Nations League, so many competitions. We are happy to play but when it's too much, it's too much. We have to recover, we have to stay relaxed.
"If people want to see quality in the game, the emotion, to see what makes the beauty of football, I think we have to respect the health of players," Mbappee highlighted while speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards.
Bayern Munich striker Lewandowski has also aired out his concerns over the same echoing out Mbappes concerns over the demands on players if a World Cup was held on a biennial basis.
"We have so many games every year, so many tough weeks, not only the games but preparation for the season, preparation for the big tournaments.
"If you want to offer something special, something different, we also need a break.
"If we have a World Cup every two years, the expectation is the time where footballers play at a high level will go down. It is physically and mentally impossible." Lewandowski commented while at the Globe Soccer Awards.
Other football bodies such as Uefa, Europe's major leagues and South American football's governing body Conmebol have opposed the plans however Caf, the African governing body, has given its backing.
