No decision on Qatar 2022 World Cup yet: FIFA

FIFA played down claims from its secretary-general that the 2022 World Cup to take place in Qatar will not be held in the summer.

The announcement by Jerome Valcke in an interview to France Inter Radio on Wednesday caught some of his own colleagues by surprise.

The tournament's scheduling has been debated since the controversial decision in 2010 to award the World Cup to the Gulf Arab state.

Temperatures in Qatar can reach up to 50 C in June and July - the traditional times the event is played.
