Wenger doubtful of winter World Cup

Members of FIFA have mooted the possibility to mitigate the extreme heat of the Qatari summer.

But Wenger believes the Premier League in particular would oppose such a move, which he says would create a rift between clubs and countries.

“As you know, Christmas here [in England] is busy, and England would not be content to play a World Cup just after it. This seems like an idea that came from nowhere. Nobody was aware of this at the time of voting.”
