2022 world cup football news
A Fifa working
party met on Tuesday in Doha to talk about moving the 2022 World Cup in Qatar
to winter due to sizzling summer temperatures in the Gulf state.
A shift to November-December is seen as likely but faces confrontation from European clubs who fear most important interruption to high-profile championships such as La Liga, Bundesliga and the Premier League.
Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa, president of the Asian Football Confederation and head of the task force, said, ‘I think the recommendation is towards November/December but there are other options’.
The other options include playing in January and February, he added. FIFA’s management committee will make a final decision on the dates on March 19 and 20 in Zurich.
Officials from football’s global governing body, top leagues and players’ legislature are attending the vital meeting.
About 40 delegates were bussed into the Qatar National Convention Centre, in central Doha, as the talks began just after 0700 GMT.
The crowd went straight into the meeting without talking to waiting correspondents reports The Straits Times.
