FIFA Confirms 2022 World Cup Likely To Be Held In Winter 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Nov 3, 2014 5:08 pm

FIFA has confirmed that they'll likely hold the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in the winter.

FIFA has been asked to consider May 2022 by the clubs, despite concerns over the heat during that month since it would severely disrupt their normal season.

FIFA secretary general, Jérôme Valcke, said on Monday: “We are getting closer to narrowing the dates for the World Cup to two options – January-February 2022 or November-December 2022 – but Fifa has also been asked to consider May 2022.

“We will summarise what we’ve heard today and provide feedback to all parties in order for them to prepare for the next meeting as we progress towards a final decision.”

I don't think that plastic grass pitches meet FIFA standards...
