Was wondering why this isn't played in the summer and then some countries (specifically us and Brazil) would be able to have their better players released to play for them.

But then i've just read that this world cup will now be held EVERY SINGLE YEAR and played in Qatar for at least 2025 through to 2029.

Having a world cup every year is ridiculous. I get why it's not held every 4 years like the senior one, but surely at most just have it every 2 years.

It’s not that bad when you think it’s limited to U17. You’d have players born in certain years not being able to play in one if it was every four, unless they’re really good at 14/15. 

Every two years would make more sense.

Yes that's why i said I get why it's not held every 4 years. But every year is crazy. How do you even have time for teams to qualify?
