Former FIFA referee Myroslav Stupar expressed his opinion on UEFA’s plans for a large-scale reform of World Cup and Euro qualification.
— Now, to understand which team advances, one needs to read special literature. Of course, everyone should be given a chance to play and qualify. But, in my opinion, there are too many matches. For example, national team players have only two days off between qualifying matches for WC-2026. It is torment for everyone. What will UEFA ultimately decide? I think they will choose the option that brings both them and the teams more money, among the two proposed options, — said the expert.
