Doha---A FIFA World Cup task force on Tuesday recommended the 2022 World Cup in Qatar be held in winter, probably in November-December, to avoid the scorching summer temperatures in the Gulf state.
Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa, president of the Asian Football Confederation and head of the task force, said "I think the recommendation is towards November/December but there are other options."
The other options include playing in January and February, he added. FIFA's executive committee will make a final decision on the dates in March.
