Former Germany international Philipp Lahm, the tournament director of Euro 2024, said on Tuesday he was opposed to FIFA's plan to stage a World Cup every two years.

"As a player I always felt happy with it and as a supporter I find it good that there is a major tournament every two years.

"I am totally convinced that things should stay as they are."
