Qatar 2022: FIFA confirms World Cup schedule
the world football governing body has confirmed the schedule for the sporting spectacle.
According to a report on ESPN, the World Cup will enjoy a flexible time table that would afford fans an unprecedented chance to watch as much as four games a day on television, spread out over 11 hours, during the group stage of the Qatar 2022 tournament. Nasser Al Khater, CEO of the Qatar World Cup organising company, said plans for the tournament were well on schedule with 85 per cent of the work finished on roads and infrastructure.
“FIFA will wait until the draw for the tournament is held in March or April of 2022 before assigning specific games to venues and time-slots. That will enable them to better align games with time zones for domestic television partners of the competing teams. The tournament was switched from it’s usual June-July slot due to the heat in the Gulf state and is the first that will be held in the middle of the European season.
