The next 'super' projects are already in the works

The Hindu  

The breakaway European Super League may have ended in dramatic failure last week but it is far from the end of radical proposals for new competitions in the world game. "We need to be open to everyone, to everything, to every proposal, to every idea," Infantino said last month when asked about the upcoming major review of the global match calendar and the suggestion by Arsene Wenger, FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development that the World Cup should be held every two years rather than the current four-year cycle. "As FIFA president, I’m interested in the Club World Cup, not the Super League," Infantino said in October. FIFA's current position is that the Club World Cup is an event to be held every four years, but previously there has been talk of it being an annual one. Belgian club recently voted to open talks with Dutch team on creating a joint "BeneLiga" while Infantino said last month that a merger between Mexico’s Liga MX and Major League Soccer would be viewed positively by FIFA and could produce the best league in the world.
