The vice-president of FIFA, Jim Boyce, has told the Premier League it would have more than enough time to prepare for a winter World Cup in Qatar.With concerns about temperatures in the summer of 2022 going north of 50 degrees in Qatar, a number of the game’s leading figures have called for a switch to the winter.The Premier League’s chief executive, Richard Scudamore, is not one of them though, claiming a switch would have a three-year knock-on effect.But Boyce said: “Most of the opposition appears to be coming from the Premier League. There are many European countries who cannot play in the winter and do have a winter break.“The Premier League say this impacts on three seasons. If people work out the calendar properly, I don’t see why it would. The Premier League is probably the world’s biggest, but this is nine years hence.”
