The decision was criticised by Sepp Blatter, who was Fifa President from 1998 to 2015, before being forced out after a corruption investigation.“The World Cup finals must be a compact event,” he said, adding this was important for the identity of the event, for the organisation and for visitors. “For 101 games, the tournament will be played in a footprint of neighbouring countries in close geographic proximity and with extensive and well developed transport links and infrastructure,” world soccer’s ruling body said.
