“We are forecasting a new window for international matches in January 2022.
The qualifiers will run through June, not March as originally.
In this tragic situation, we were a little lucky that the World Cup will be held in November-December.
This gives us a little more time to qualify around the world.
We must work to make sure the qualifiers are played.
I mentioned the window in January, if need be we have to find other windows.
In Europe, there is experience of playing three matches in one window instead of two, let's see how it works and whether it can be used in other tournaments.
Another plan for other confederations is that matches can be played in one place, and not in a "home and away" format.
We have to make sure that the qualifying matches are held and that a fantastic world championship awaits us in 2022, ”Infantino said at a press conference after the FIFA Congress.
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be held from November 21 to December 18, 2022.
Earlier, Infantino urged to discuss the idea of playoffs in the national championships.
