FIFA revolutionizes club seasons due to the high temperatures that occur in summer in the emirate
The vast majority of fans of Spanish clubs ask themselves a question: why is the Qatar 2022 World Cup being played in November? FIFA, with an unprecedented decision, has revolutionized the national leagues and forces teams to stop for a month and a half so that their players can go to the World Cup. It is the first time it has happened and it has not gone down well with those affected.
After an October with a lot of football -we must minimize the consequences of the World Cup-, in a few days the final break will come. La Liga will resume on December 30 and 31, and until then, the clubs will only play friendly matches.
The reasons why the World Cup is played for the first time in November are due, according to FIFA, to the heat. In summer there are temperatures of more than 50 degrees in the Qatari emirate, so the best decision, according to President Infantino, was to postpone the World Cup event to November and December. On those dates between 20 and 25 degrees are expected and possible situations of dizziness vanish.
The other possibility was to change the venue, but FIFA refused despite the suspicions of fraud that existed at the time. That choice was full of doubts. The candidacy was the worst valued in the technical report, but won. The alliance with the RFEF counted a lot. Figures like Zidane or Guardiola also gave him their support. Despite the victory, even its biggest guarantors were suspicious of a fact, and that is that summer temperatures there are close to 50 degrees. After fears of a vital crisis for soccer players and fans arose, the institution led by Infantino threw down the middle street. He refused to change venue (Qatar had won the vote over the United States) and in the end it was decided to play the tournament between November and December.
Then came the second judicial investigation in the ‘FIFAGate’ case, which ended with the senior officials who then presided over the highest authority in world football. The Swiss Public Ministry suspected vote-buying in the elections for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in Russia and Qatar. The sentence of the last ‘FIFAGate’ trial was expected this fall but has been postponed to 2023.
