Greg Dyke: Qatar World Cup 'should be moved'

A summer World Cup in Qatar in 2022 would be "impossible", according to Football Association chairman Greg Dyke.

Mr Dyke, who took up his FA role last month, thinks the tournament is likely to move to winter because of the heat.

The Premier League opposes a change of dates, because staging the tournament in winter would clash with domestic matches.

Dyke's predecessor David Bernstein said in June that any switch would be "fundamentally flawed".

Qatar's World Cup organising committee says it is ready to host the tournament in summer.
