FIFA to address 2022 Qatar World Cup timing

The governing body published the agenda for the meetings - set to take place on October 3 and 4 - on Monday, with "FIFA World Cup Qatar, period of the competition" included under the 'sports-political matters' section.

There has been general consensus among European football federations that staging the tournament in July is not possible due to excessive heat in the Middle Eastern state, despite assurances from organisers that they would build air-conditioned stadia.
