The head of FIFA has admitted that trying to have a World Cup (soccer) in Qatar in the heat of their summer, which is way hot, is a mistake and they'll have to play in the winter.
FIFA’s Sepp Blatter says awarding 2022 World Cup to Qatar was ‘a mistake’
“The Qatar technical report indicated clearly that it is too hot in summer, but the executive committee with quite a big majority decided all the same that the tournament would be in Qatar,” he added.
Asked whether the World Cup was likely to be held in the European winter, the 78-year-old replied: “It’s probable, yes. In fact, it’s more than probable.”
I don't see that as a problem. The pro leagues will just have to schedule around it, and maybe use their benches a little bit more whilst their stars are pursuing world domination.
After all, they only have eight years to work out a schedule.
