UEFA President Michel Platini supports the idea of World Cup matches in Qatar in 2022 to be displaced in the winter.

He said in January the organization of the World Cup will go much easier than in summer. This will ensure the participants of the championship better conditions for football.

However, Platini believes that holding the tournament in January will require resolving other important issues. One of them is connected with rest of the players after the World Cup.

Currently, World Cup 2022 is planned this summer. Then the outside temperature reaches 40-50 degrees. The host of the championship promised specific stadiums, which will have air conditioning. She will care for the convenience of fans and the players, namely 25 degrees during the match.
