“We will encourage co-hosting for the World Cup because we need Fifa to show we are reasonable and we have to think about sustainability long-term,” Infantino said.
“It is perfectly in line with our sustainability and legacy to maybe bring together two, three, four countries who can jointly present a project with three, four, five stadiums each. We will certainly encourage it. Ideally the countries will be close to each other for the sake of ease of travel,” he added.
