There has been no mention of the Football League being affected, so games should carry on as normal. Though I guess The Championship might have to have a break due to the players lost, possibly some League One games as well.
This could actually be a good thing for lower league clubs, no other domestic football for people to watch so higher attendances and maybe some extra money from Sky.
I'm still not convinced it will go ahead in the winter, potential for a lot of legal action.
Fair play to FIFA though, just when you think they can't get any worse they pull this out of the bag.

I've seen it briefly mentioned on a few articles that the FL will have to close as well, as people have mentioned that it's all well and good for the PL clubs but lower clubs in the FL could struggle. The likelihood is that the 2022-23 season, will start mid-July, and finish mid-June with the play-offs...an 11 month season !!

Never mind struggle, losing revenue for 2 months mid-season like that could see a few go bust. But then what would FIFA care about that?

So, during 2022 world cup all domestic league matches will have to be postponed (probably) to prevent clashes. For what time frame? 8 weeks?
That means that the 2022-23 season will finish 8 weeks late.
To allow the players a reasonable recovery break and a reasonable pre season, the 2023-24 season start will need to be delayed by what, 6 weeks?
That means the 2023-24 season will finish 6 weeks late.
To allow the players a reasonable recovery break and a reasonable pre season, the 2024-25 season start will need to be delayed by what, 4 weeks/
Etc.
I think they were looking at the 2022/23 season starting a month early and finishing a month later to even it out Either way an 8 week period in the middle of the season will severely fuck some clubs cash flow

Shifting the WC to the winter would 'sort of' solve the climate issue.
So how are they going to deal with the alcohol bans, homophobia, misogyny.......... They can't just ignore these things like they are ignoring the slave labour and what not.
Although even at that time of the year is still a few degrees hotter than Brazil was and everyone in football was banging on about that being wrong!

The stupid thing (which will personify everything which is wrong with FIFA, football etc is that I can see this being challenged not because it will fuck up some lower league teams (I suspect across Europe, not just UK) but because it will affect some of the big boys a little losing players!
