The American double World Cup-winning manager has fronted the group - made up of 21 players, coaches, referees, administrators, sports scientists and executives - in its discussions for revamping the international match calendar.

"The lever that Women's World Cup pulls in terms of elevating our sport is massive," said Ellis.

"And that's why the biennial is in conversation because we recognise that domestic leagues benefit, viewership comes up after a major world event, leagues actually have been started after a major world event because of the interest, players have been discovered through World Cups.

"There's so many positives that come from a World Cup in elevating our sport but certainly looking at this idea of having it more frequently is something that we are exploring."

The TAG has been meeting to develop women's football through talks on competitive balance, increased opportunities for underserved nations, a Women’s Club World Cup, player welfare, FIFA international windows and improved prize money.

It is said that the majority group is in favour of a biennial World Cup, but Ellis recognises that it will require a wider decision.

"This is a democracy, this is going to go to a vote," Ellis said.

"I think we certainly want to advise and create but also have great conversations as we now start to take thoughts, ideas and recommendations forward to a larger audience."

Although Ellis' desire for the global event to be contested more frequently is based on good intentions of increasing visibility and participation in the women's game, the idea has been met with firm criticism.

This is mainly down to the knock-on effect of male football dominating the sporting calendar.

A significant adversary is the International Olympic Committee (IOC) which expressed serious concerns.

Following its Executive Board meeting in Athens on Saturday (October 16) the IOC issued a strongly-worded statement where it said that it believed a biennial men's and women's World Cup would present challenges for the promotion of women's football, as well as risking marginalising other sports.

Men's national team coaches have been invited to a series of online conferences, from tomorrow through until Thursday (October 21), to discuss a potential new calendar from 2024.

The discussions will be led by FIFA's chief of global football development Arsène Wenger and will include a range of topics including player health, international windows and the frequency of the FIFA World Cup.

"As a coach of the men's national teams, their input is essential," said Wenger.

"Opportunities for us to come together are few and far between, but we must embrace these occasions as such dialogue helps us all to protect the unique place that football has in the world and to make it truly global."
