It was initially expected that the tournament would be brought forward to January 2012, but kicker reports the intention is now to move it to November that year, with the final set to take place on December 18. A winter World Cup would have a significant effect on domestic football across Europe. The major leagues in the continent all kick off in the summer, with the Russian Premier League changing its schedule to follow the same pattern a year ago, and will face severe disruption as a result of the Qatar tournament

A little premature IMO.

Wait, what about the solar-powered air conditioners and artificially-created clouds?

By December 2022, the NFL will be a global sport and everyone will be busy watching the London Fish and Chips face off against the Berlin Bratwursts.

Won't this also have a minimal impact on the early WC 2026 qualifying for some federations? Some of those pre-qualifying rounds with smaller countries start pretty soon after the conclusion of the WC when it's during the summer... will taking away 6 months have an impact?
