FIFA has confirmed that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will take place between November 21st and December 18th. FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, confirmed Friday at the final Press Conference on the 2018 World Cup in Russia that football leagues around the world had been informed on time for them to adjust their calendars to suit the tournament.
The World Cup has always been hosted from June till July when the European football league season has ended, but this time it will be in the run up to Christmas break.
“Leagues around the world have been informed already, and of course they will have to adapt,” Infantino said.
