Fifa president Sepp Blatter has now suggested that the 2022 Qatar World Cup will be held in the summer after, and not in the winter. He had previously stated he expected the finals to be staged in January because of the country's climate as temperatures in Qatar can top 40 C. He said:
Just last month, Blatter said that the successful Qatari bid was based on a summer World Cup but the Fifa executive committee was entitled to change any element of it, adding that players had to be protected from extreme weather conditions. Now he's squealing and finger pointing, saying:
What an utterly slimy get he is and he clearly has no qualms about passing the buck either. Get shot of this despicable con artist sharpish and get someone in who wants ot help football and not feather their own nests.

"I think for the time being the matter is on ice. Everything is settled for summer."

"Who said first that we should play in winter? It was Franz Beckenbauer, second Michel Platini and the world footballers' union (Fifpro). I am not in favour of one or the other. What I did say, winter is not only January or February. I think for the time being the matter is on ice."
