At The Business of Football Summit in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday the Secretary General for the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee said the country was ready to host a winter world cup.
Hassan al Thawadi, Secretary General for the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee:
“It is the significant voices in the footballing community who are saying that are saying that winter would be perfect and it is obviously a debate that is out there in the footballing community. We have always said we are ready to host it at whatever time – but we need to have that debate with the football community to see when is the best time.”
Many European clubs, meanwhile, have been opposed to a winter World Cup due to scheduling conflicts.
