La Liga, represented by its president Javier Tebas, today attended a meeting of the FIFA task force, the group charged with finding the dates for the Qatar World Cup. The latest proposal was to hold the tournament between 19 November and 23 December 2022.
The Association of European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL), headed up by La Liga and the Premier League, showed their opposition to the new proposal, saying through an official statement it "will perturb and cause great damage to the normal running of the European domestic competitions."
The European Leagues and Clubs have reaffirmed their position of wanting to hold the Qatar World Cup in the month of May, which is an acceptable time of year given the climate and favours both the players and fans.
The final decision will be announced on 19 March during FIFA's Executive Committee meeting.
