(Reuters) - UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said that plans to hold a biennial World Cup are a "no go" for everyone in football, adding that FIFA has also come to the same realisation.

The idea of a World Cup every two years has been gathering steam with FIFA president Gianni Infantino trying to get support from national federations, saying the switch would create an extra $4.4 billion in revenues for the world body.
