FIFA is addressing the issue of changing the general principle of the world soccer calendar, reports Tuttosport.
“In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, FIFA is forced to change some of its principles,” quotes the Italian edition of the words of the vice president of the International Football Federation and the president of CONCACAF, Victor Montagliani. “Now the decision is being made to stop or resume the football season.” Government agencies and FIFA, which categorically did not accept the interference of the authorities in football matters, do not dispute this. This is a necessary temporary measure, but there are other changes that can be made. “
“For example, the main dates of the soccer calendar. Instead of the traditional autumn-spring scheme, the annual calendar system, that is, spring-autumn, can be taken as a basis. Considering that the 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar in November-December, it might be worth considering how to do this continuously, for example, in CONCACAF, we have stations in North America during the calendar year, and this does not bring any difficulties. I do not think it is a problem for Europe, Africa and others “
It was previously reported that FIFA will change some of its rules in a pandemic, and will help national associations overcome their consequences.
