2022 World Cup to Move in Qatar

Britain's Fifa vice-president declared that European countries have given full support to move the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in the winter.

Jim Boyce, from Northern Ireland, said that the 54 UEFA associations meeting in Dubrovnik, Croatia, want Fifa to ask the major shareholder of the game prior making any plans regarding the tournament.

In a meeting on October 3, Fifa's executive committee seems to agree with decision of moving the World Cup to the winter.

However, some issues could arise regarding the month that is, whether the game should be played in January 2022 or November/December of same year.

Fifa is supposed to be in support for November/December, so that it does not collide with the Winter Olympics.

European politicians forced the members involved in the World Cup 2022 to move it to Qatar. This was said by Fifa president, Sepp Blatter.

Blatter declared, "We have set up a new, independent ethics commission to re-examine the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar".

Platini actively denied of any political force that was put on him for shifting the World Cup in Qatar. In spite of being requested by Sarkozy to have a dinner with Sheikh Hamad Al-Thani - the Emir of Qatar. This dinner was arranged at the Elysee Palace before the process of voting in the year 2010.
