2022 World Cup in Qatar not in winter due to the Winter Olympics
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will not take place in January or February out of respect for the Winter Olympics. This is what FIFA Chairman Blatter said recently. He also stated that he was positive about the actions that Qatar has taken regarding the working conditions of workers.
The interview was also attended by the director of the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee, Sheikh Mohammed. According to him, government agencies and business are busy improving the conditions and rights of workers at the World Cup stadiums in Qatar.
Seph Blatter spoke on behalf of FIFA with the highest political authorities to complete his mission of three points to fulfill. The first point is to confirm that the 2022 World Cup will be played in Qatar. There is no doubt that the decision that was taken on December 2, 2010 will be reversed. All World Cup matches will therefore be finished in the oil state.
The second point is about the temperature in the summer in Qatar. There is much discussion about the possible relocation of the World Cup because of the extreme heat. According to the organization, Qatar is willing and able to organize the World Football Championship in June or July, using air conditioning in the football stadiums. Of course it is better to keep the 2022 World Cup at a different time of the year. FIFA will discuss with various parties which date is best for the opening match. In addition, also takes into account the media partners and the economic partners.
The third point of Blatter concerns the problems in Qatar with working conditions. The Supreme Committee gave a presentation to the FIFA chairman, in which it was stated that the host country has been busy in recent months improving the working conditions of workers in and around the stadiums and accommodations. In addition, various legislative changes were made. An apartment is currently being built in which 60,000 workers can spend the night.
Qatar has already been in contact with the Building and Wood Workers International (BWI) and the International Labor Organization (ILO). These international organizations stand up for the rights of workers and demand improvement of the host country. The Football World Cup lasts another 9 years, but according to Blatter, Qatar is on the right track towards the World Cup in 2022.
According to Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, director of the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committe, they have offered at the organization of the World Football Championship in the summer. Nevertheless, Qatar will also be prepared to organize the World Cup at a different time. All in all, according to him, it will be a fantastic World Cup in 2022.
