USWNT and Orlando Pride striker Alex Morgan backed plans for a World Cup every two years after being named to a FIFA technical advisory group on the growth and advancement of women’s soccer.
The newly developed FIFA group, headed by former USWNT manager Jill Ellis, recently discussed the pros and cons of holding the international tournament in a biennial fashion instead of the current four year schedule.
Morgan admitted that while there is a mix of perspectives within the group, an added frequency of the World Cup could result in more coverage of women’s soccer.
"I just don't think that's the consensus of all players, to not want this World Cup every two years," she said. "I think there was actually a lot of opinions shared in favor of the World Cup every two years on the advisory board by current and former players."
Alongside Alex Morgan, the panel includes Wendie Renard, Kristine Lilly, Karina LeBlanc, Emma Hayes, Pia Sundhage and Mark Parsons.
