Agen TangKasneT  ~    Arsene Wenger has urged FIFA to restructure football's international calendar – or risk clubs going it alone to form their own breakaway competitions.

The Arsenal boss has issued a stark warning to the global game’s governing body and told them it is “now or never” if they want a revamp. 

Wenger believes the corruption scandal engulfing FIFA has handed the organisation the chance to review all aspects of how they operate. 

And he claims reorganising the punishing international football schedule should be one of their top priorities.

Frenchman Wenger said: “We face a situation where it’s impossible for the players to get through a season and have rest. 

This kind of friction that it creates between the clubs, national teams and international competitions can create a split.

“One day the clubs could move away and say, ‘Enough is enough. We pay a huge amount of money for our best players so we’ll get them together ourselves and organise our own competitions’.

“It’s important that all of that gets on the table while we have the opportunity. 

"It is now or never.”

Wenger is no stranger to complaints about the impact and disruption international football causes clubs.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~    He has openly admitted to not being a fan of international football — especially mid-season friendly matches.

This season, he has voiced concerns about Chile’s use of his (and their) star man Alexis Sanchez and also sparked a war of words with Wales boss Chris Coleman after suggesting playing for his country contributed to Aaron Ramsey’s hamstring injury . 

Wenger is also convinced that one change FIFA will implement is to follow the lead of UEFA by expanding the World Cup finals. 

He said: “You see the European Championship has gone from 16 to 24 teams [for the 2016 tournament].

“I bet you, because of the way the system was organised to be elected as new president of FIFA, the programme would be to move the World Cup from 32 to 40 teams.

“Why? Because Africa today has five countries in the World Cup and Europe has 13 - that cannot work for much longer.

You cannot take countries away from Europe [though] and if you want to be elected FIFA president you need the votes from the African countries, so you want to give more [places] to Africa.

"So the next World Cups will be 40 teams.”
