FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke clarifies: The Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar will not take place in the summer. The plan is now a discharge time between mid-November and mid-January. The Executive Committee of the World Association The final decision must now make.
The Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar is not discharged in the summer months of June or July. This was announced by the Secretary General of the football world governing body FIFA, Jerome Valcke, with.
“I think we will unsubscribe the tournament between November 15, 2022 and January 15, 2023,” Valcke told the French radio station Inter radio. The Frenchman added that the period between mid-November and the end of December is the most ideal weather is concerned. The final decision as to when exactly the tournament will be played, but drops the Executive Committee of FIFA.
In the past it had always been great discussions to host the World Cup in the summer because then can prevail more than 40 degrees Celsius in Qatar. The stages should, therefore, be artificially cooled down, so was the plan, which is now obsolete. In November and December, the average temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius. “Perfect for football games,” as Valcke said.
World Cup 2022 Qatar:Decision should actually fell in the summer
The announcement comes extremely surprising . Following a meeting of the World Federation in early October last year, FIFA President Joseph Blatter had said : “Probably , I emphasize probably find the World Cup in June / July instead – this is not a must- formulation , but a Can – formulation. ” The Swiss then added , with a decision when the tournament takes place in 2022 , was not expected before the World Cup in Brazil , which will be held this summer.
A hosting of the World Cup at the beginning of 2022 seems not an option because they would then take place in conjunction with the Winter Olympics . For a conflict between Fifa and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) would be inevitable. Most recently, several international winter sports federations had spoken out against hosting the World Cup in the months of January or February 2022.
However, now threatens trouble between the Fifa on the one hand and the European football association UEFA and national football associations on the other side . Finally, each club with the national team until mid / end of December, both in European competitions ( Champions League, Europa League ) as well as in the national leagues . Thus, all contests should be started earlier or run in the summer of 2023 longer in the summer of 2022. More Games discharge during the week is almost impossible because of the anyway already busy schedule of the clubs.
