International football calander up until 2024 confirmed
The link is here: http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affe...en_neutral.pdf
Obviously this will impact the domestic season, dramatically. My solution would be to start the football season on Saturday 30th July 2022. (Might be even a week earlier.) The season would come to a halt on Saturday 12th November/Sunday 13th November 2022. (Might also be a week earlier.) The World Cup starts on Monday 21st November 2022, and finishes on Sunday 18th December 2022. After the World Cup Finals, the season would restart with the Boxing Day fixtures for each club on Monday 26th December 2022. |

Season will pause on the 13th (why go a week earlier when you don't need to?).
The European leagues will all ditch their winter breaks, so actually they will be pretty unaffected by this. I think UEFA is losing 1 probably 2 matchdays with this, but that is easily resolved by starting in August instead of September. The PL has to reschedule 4 match days. extra midweek in the Christmas fixtures sorts one out. Start the season a week earlier is another. Finish a week later, there's another. This is going to be boringly straightforward to organise. |

Well I assume that as much rest as possible would be wanted hence why they might decide to go a week earlier.
You would think the England players would need to climatize to the conditions in Qatar. Yes it does help that it is not in the middle of summer, but you would want more than a weeks break for the players before the world cup. |

Serves FIFA right for choosing Qatar as the host for the 2022 World Cup.
Too scared to do a massive amount of research on nations that can host the World Cup. |

I would hope that we could have a normal season, by which I mean that all the fixtures are played, even if things have to be moved around a bit. And by that I mean all 38 Premier League games, (46 in the Football League,) the FA Cup (with replays) the League Cup (with 2 legged semi-finals) and also the champions league and Europa League taking place as normal. It should, in theory, be easy, afterall there is still only the same amount of football to fit in during the season. But I suspect it will be a lot more complicated than that. I hope not. |
