FIFA approve December 18 date for 2022 World Cup final in Qatar

By , Staff Reporter
FIFA reportedly approve the proposal that the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar should be staged on December 18.

FIFA has given the green light for the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to be played on December 18.

The traditional summer tournament has been switched to winter due to the soaring temperatures in the Middle East, which many have deemed dangerous for players and spectators.

In today's FIFA executive committee meeting, it was decided that December 18 would be an appropriate date for the final and it is expected to be welcomed by the body's president Sepp Blatter.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has hit out at FIFA's decision to switch the tournament to winter due to the disruption that it will cause to the country's domestic action.
