FIFA say there are "no concrete plans" to stage the 2022 World Cup in winter, and insist any move would have to be initiated by Qatar.
The high temperatures in Qatar during summer months has led to talk of the tournament being moved to a cooler time of year.
That has in turn caused concern for domestic leagues which would see their seasons interrupted by the unusual positioning of the tournament in the football calendar.
Not a good idea. As long as Qatar can maintain good temperatures in stadiums then that's all that matters.
