Almost three years from now, the 2022 World Cup will be launched in Qatar, which will be held for the first time in winter. The new timing of the World Cup has created a host of problems with programming for games in Germany. How come?
It seems that the 2022 World Cup in winter will not be without some difficulties for the leagues whose teams will participate in this World Cup wedding.
For Germany, for example, Kicker sports newspaper revealed that the duration of the last game before the winter break in the Bundesliga and the World Cup Qatar will not exceed eight days, which will affect the preparation period for the World Cup.
According to the preliminary programming of the Bundesliga matches of the 2023-2022 season, the last match of the first half of the season will be between November 11 and 13, and on the 14 of the same month, the German camp will start in preparation for the World Cup.
Eight days later (November 21, 2019) the first World Cup in the history of football will begin in winter, which means that the compulsory rest week given to players before joining their countries will not be possible in the World Cup Qatar 2022.
With matches squeezed and time constrained, Germany coach Joachim Loew will also have to change his pre-tournament preparations.
To ease the pressure on players, there are two possibilities that German football officials may resort to, according to Kicker: delaying the start of the 2023-2022 season to August 5 instead of July 29, so that players can benefit from more holiday.
The second possibility is to make do with 16 games instead of 17 in the first half of the season, so that the international players have a week of rest before the start of the camp Manchvt to prepare for the World Cup.
