Fifa says it will not pay compensation to clubs and leagues unhappy about plans to play the 2022 Qatar World Cup in
November and December particularly European Clubs.
"There will be no compensation," said Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke. He also added, "There are seven years to reorganise."
Valcke also suggested that a 2022 World Cup final on 23 December was looking increasingly likely.
"European governing body Uefa and other
confederations are keen on Friday, 23 December, although 18 December is also a possibility." - Jerome Valcke
Fifa's executive committee will meet in Zurich next month to approve
the taskforce's recommendation.
Valcke also confirmed the 2022 World Cup will be four days shorter as a "concession" to leagues and clubs - 28 days instead of the usual 31 or 32 and the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations will be moved to June from January.
He admitted "It's not perfect, we know that".
