So the 2022 World Cup WILL be held in Winter, most probably mid-November to late December.

This will disrupt the schedules of most European domestic leagues at all levels, since promotion/relegation will have be to taken into account at each step of the pyramid.

Bonkers decision to give it to Qatar anyway.

Already rumblings that people will be queueing up to sue FIFA over this. TV companies who bid for the broadcast rights, sponsors, advertisers and some FIFA members, who will be seeking compensation for disruption to their own domestic competitions, etc. This could end up being very messy.
