FIFA’s scheduling committee formally recommended on Tuesday what most had been expecting for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar: moving the soccer tournament from the summer to the cooler months, between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Technically, it was not an official announcement after a six-month evaluation process. The committee, which is composed of representatives from each of the soccer confederations around the world, can only offer a November-December World Cup as a proposal. It will then be voted on by FIFA’s executive committee at a meeting in Zurich next month.
