Fis decides on the WC every year from 2032 - Swedish national team manager surprised

Fis has now made the decision to organize the World Cup every year from 2032 except for Olympic years, but is open to letting the new arrangement apply as early as 2028.

After taking part in a preliminary feasibility study that emphasized sporting value, schedule and the potential regarding commercial rights and media rights, Fis stands behind the decision," they write in a press release.

The Swedish national team manager had no idea that the decision would be made.

- I received the decision at a meeting that ended fifteen minutes ago and haven't had time to prepare, so I don't know exactly if the issue comes as a proposal from some nation or if it is Fi's board that raised the issue itself, says Jonsson, who returns to Fi's ski committee in October - left it after nine years in 2021.

No company has yet bought the rights to the WC in Falun next year.

- From what I understand, there are several interested parties who want to broadcast the World Ski Championships, says Jonsson.
