2022年卡塔爾世界杯將在冬季舉行

FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed the 2022 Qatar World Cup will take place from November 21 to December 18, which will be the first-ever winter tournament in the northern hemisphere.

國際足聯(lián)主席詹尼·因凡蒂諾口近日證實(shí)，卡塔爾世界杯將于2022年11月21日至12月18日舉行，這將是世界杯首次在北半球冬季舉行。

Infantino said FIFA decided on the date to avoid the extreme heat of Qatar in summer, which sees temperatures hit 40 C on a regular basis.

因凡蒂諾稱，國際足聯(lián)這一決定是為了避開卡塔爾夏季的高溫，卡塔爾夏季氣溫可達(dá)40攝氏度以上。

FIFA has scheduled the event for the end of the year despite scheduling conflicts for league clubs. FIFA expects domestic leagues will be able to adjust their schedules to accommodate the global event.

國際足聯(lián)將世界杯舉辦時間定在了年底，而這一時間與各大聯(lián)賽的時間沖突，對此，國際足聯(lián)表示，希望各大聯(lián)賽的時間會因此進(jìn)行調(diào)整。

 

"FIFA has yet to decide whether the tournament in Qatar will feature 32 or 48 teams," Infantino added.

因凡蒂諾還表示：“關(guān)于卡塔爾世界杯參賽隊(duì)伍是32支還是48支的問題，國際足聯(lián)還未作出決定。”

"For now it's a World Cup with 32 teams but everybody is open-minded and we will have a frank and open debate."

“到目前為止，世界杯參賽隊(duì)伍還是32支，但是所有人的心態(tài)都很開放，我們將展開一場坦率而公開的討論。”

"I will be happy if it stays at 32 teams as previously established. Qatar could insist on 32. But if everybody thinks it might be positive to change to 48 we can have a look. All options will be on the table."

“如果保持此前設(shè)置的32支參賽球隊(duì)，我會很開心。這樣卡塔爾世界杯就會延續(xù)32支參賽球隊(duì)。但是如果所有人都認(rèn)為參賽球隊(duì)改為48支會是向積極的方向發(fā)展，那我們也可以看一看。所有的選項(xiàng)都可以探討。”
