FIFA president Gianni Infantino claimed he felt Russia 2018 was the "best World Cup ever"
The Khalifa International Stadium will play host to some of the games at the 2022 tournament
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has confirmed the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will take place during the winter.
The governing body took the decision to move the tournament to the more cooler months with a November 21 start date.
The final is due to happen on December 18, which is also Qatar National Day.
It will therefore fall in the middle of the domestic schedule for the majority of European club sides.
However, the tournament will be played over a reduced time period of 28 days in an attempt to counteract this.
Meanwhile, Infantino declared the 2018 tournament as the best World Cup ever and thanked Russia for being the perfect host.
