Sepp Blatter confirms Qatar WILL host 2022 World Cup - but no decision on dates until after Brazil 2014
The FIFA president says a consultation process will be launched to work on when exactly the tournament will be held
Sepp Blatter has confirmed that the 2022 World Cup WILL take place in
Qatar - but no dates will be set until after next year's tournament.
The FIFA president said that a consultation process will be launched to see when will be best to host the event as authorities decide how to avoid the 50C heat of summer.
But that process will not be completed until after next year's event, deferring a decision until various stakeholders have had their say.
"The executive committee decided to launch a consultation process among main stakeholders for Qatar 2022 dates," Blatter said on Twitter. "No decision will be taken before 2014 WC (World Cup)."
And in a press conference this afternoon, he insisted: "World Cup 2022 will be played in Qatar. There you have it."
