Qatar World Cup: FA chairman wants winter tournament

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has called for the 2022 World Cup to be delayed or moved because it will be too hot in Qatar in the summer.

Mr Dyke told the BBC's James Pearce that playing the tournament in June and July would be "impossible" for the fans.

He said: "Everyone is now saying 'can you really have the World Cup in those sorts of temperatures?' and I think the answer is no."
