World Cup The FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar can only be played in the months of November and December. That’s the conclusion of a special working group of the FIFA who investigated possible performance data for the tournament. The decision falls on March 20 in Zurich.
Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa was the Working Group. He puts on the website of the BBC that there are two options on the table. Because play in the summer months, due to the intense heat in Qatar, is not an option, the tournament in the cooler winter months to occur.
“That means January or November. A choice must be made. But playing in January or February is difficult because we do not want to let the world championships coincide with the Winter Olympics. The only option is November / December. “
According to the Bahraini sheikh, who is also president of the Asian Football Confederation, is file as for him “a rounded case.” Next month chops FIFA button on the dates definitively at a meeting of the Executive Committee.
Qatar won the World Championship in December 2010 in with the promise that in the summer would be played soccer, but that seems unrealistic. Temperatures then indeed go smoothly about 40 degrees. That scorching heat would represent a potential danger to the health of the players.
A shift of the World Cup in the summer to the winter would mean that the calendars of the European competitions must be tuned. Which then bounce back a lot of resistance in Europe. Walk there almost all competitions during the winter months just by, though many countries as in the Belgian first division a short winter.
