FIFA has invited the coaches of all the 211 men's national teams to a meeting about their plans for a biennial World Cup proposal.

Former Arsenal coach, Arsene Wenger, who is now the head of global football development at Fifa, had initially proposed that the world cup should be changed from every four year to two years.

UEFA and Conmebol, the South American governing body, together with many bodies, clubs, managers, players and fans went against the proposal and insist FIFA must drop it. 

Wenger in a statement in relation to the scheduled meeting said, "As a coach of the men`s national teams, their input is essential. Opportunities for us to come together are few and far between, but we must embrace these occasions as such dialogue helps us all to protect the unique place that football has in the world and to make it truly global."

Video conferences for the coaches will be held on Tuesday and Thursday and will be led by Arsene Wenger.
