(16 Oct 2021) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro met on Friday with FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who is touring South America to promote the organisation's proposal to hold the World Cup every two years.
Hours earlier, Infantino met with a delegation from the Venezuelan Soccer Federation, headed by its president Jorge Giménez and members of the Venezuelan first division league, among other officials.
Infantino arrived in the Venezuelan capital on Thursday night from Bogota, where he met with Colombian football officials and the country's president Ivan Duque.
His tour of the region also includes Ecuador, Chile and Argentina.
It's part of a campaign to persuade South American football chiefs to back the plan for a World Cup every two years.
They, like most of their European counterparts, want the tournament to keep to its current schedule, and be held every four years.
