The 2022 FIFA World Cup will cause chaos to domestic schedules as it takes place in the winter due to the Qatar heat The Premier League football has reportedly drawn up plans to work their season around the 2022 World Cup involving playing games just nine days before the tournament starts. Football fanatics from all over the world can buy Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
European domestic schedules have been thrown into chaos with the showpiece competition set to be hosted in the winter as a result of the climate in host country Qatar. According to the Daily Mail, plans drafted by Premier League officials involve fixtures on November 12 followed by a Boxing Day restart to minimize disruption to the English top flight.
The World Cup is due to get underway on November 21 with the final on December 18, leaving very little space either side of the tournament, which will take away numerous top Premier League stars.
It is also expected that the two-week winter break would be scrapped in the World Cup year and the top two tiers of English football would kick-off a week earlier and end a week later. The proposals could cause issues between clubs and national federations, who will no doubt wish to have their players involved in pre-tournament training camps which would clash with Premier League games.
It would also create an alarmingly long season for those involved in both competitions, with little space for downtime between the two events; especially should they go deep into the World Cup knockout stages. After being made aware of the plans, Premier League clubs were said to issue a positive response and a shareholders meeting in November will see the proposals discussed at greater length.
Leagues around the world recognize the unique problems they face with hopes of understanding from all parties involved. The summer heat in Qatar, where temperatures can reach 40C, has led to FIFA making the unorthodox decision to stage a winter tournament instead.
The scheduling of Champions League and Europa League fixtures around the tournament have not yet been decided with UEFA, with a solution on that front not expected to be confirmed until 2021.
