Qatar is hosting the tournament and concerns have been prominent given the heat that can be reached in summer.
“If we play in winter it will be not a problem [to organise],” said Platini. “How can people go to Qatar in 50 degrees in June? If the people can’t come to enjoy it it’s not good. The people they come for three weeks or two weeks in 60 degrees and never go outside the hotel. So when is the best moment? It’s not a problem for players because they can be acclimatised and in hotels.”
