Fifa will hold an online summit with its member associations on 30 September to discuss the international men's and women's calendar.

A World Cup every two years rather than four is part of Fifa's plans.

The current match calendar for the women's game runs to the end of 2023, while the men's expires in 2024.

"There is a broad consensus within the game that the international match calendar should be reformed and improved," said Fifa.

"This is one of several opportunities to establish a constructive and open debate, at a global and regional level, over the coming months and Fifa is looking forward to it."
