Three quarters of footballers are against proposals to make the World Cup a biennial event, according to a survey of more than 1,000 players from seventy different countries.
The poll, carried out by FIFPRO, shows that an even greater majority of European players are against Arsene Wenger's plan to double the number of World Cups because it would place further stress on an already packed calendar.
However, a little more than a fifth of respondents believe they are listened to and their well-being is considered when it comes to international governance.
