Football's world governing body FIFA is to launch a feasibility study into holding the men's and women's World Cups every two years instead of four.
The proposal, by Saudi Arabia's football federation, received backing at FIFA’s annual congress.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino called it an "eloquent and detailed proposal", with 166 national federations voting in favour with 22 votings against.
The men's World Cup has been held every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 because of World War Two.
