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.
国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺口近日证实，卡塔尔世界杯将于2022年11月21日至12月18日举行，这将是世界杯首次在北半球冬季举行。
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.
因凡蒂诺称，国际足联这一决定是为了避开卡塔尔夏季的高温，卡塔尔夏季气温可达40摄氏度以上。
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.
国际足联将世界杯举办时间定在了年底，而这一时间与各大联赛的时间冲突，对此，国际足联表示，希望各大联赛的时间会因此进行调整。
"FIFA has yet to decide whether the tournament in Qatar will feature 32 or 48 teams," Infantino added.
因凡蒂诺还表示：“关于卡塔尔世界杯参赛队伍是32支还是48支的问题，国际足联还未作出决定。”
"For now it's a World Cup with 32 teams but everybody is open-minded and we will have a frank and open debate."
“到目前为止，世界杯参赛队伍还是32支，但是所有人的心态都很开放，我们将展开一场坦率而公开的讨论。”
"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."
“如果保持此前设置的32支参赛球队，我会很开心。这样卡塔尔世界杯就会延续32支参赛球队。但是如果所有人都认为参赛球队改为48支会是向积极的方向发展，那我们也可以看一看。所有的选项都可以探讨。”
