FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke’s statement suggesting the 2022 World Cup might be played between November and January to avoid the intense heat in Qatar has been clarified by FIFA. The organization emphasized that no final decision on the event’s date will be made before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. FIFA stated that the consultation process involving all stakeholders, including the international football community, confederations, member associations, championships, clubs, players, and commercial partners, will not be rushed, and sufficient time will be given to consider all elements before making a decision.
