Dragan Stojkovic Piksi, the selector of the Serbian national football team, greeted and thanked for the decision approved by FIFA to change the rules for the World Cup in Qatar.
As a reminder, the World Football Federation (FIFA) approved the participants of the World Cup in Qatar to have 26 players at their disposal, as well as the right to five substitutions during the match.
The selector Stojkovic was one of the main drivers that all selections have 26 players at their disposal, not 23.
“The idea was born at a panel meeting of all selectors organized by FIFA in Doha. I, but I consider all other selectors, are happy with such a decision. As I said then, I will repeat – I think 26 players is the optimal number. It absolutely does not change anything, even from the human side, and not just the coaching side, it gives a good satisfaction, both to me and to all the players who will be on the list. I congratulate FIFA on understanding and one very smart and logical decision “, said Dragan Stojkovic Piksi.
