Organizers of World Cup Qatar 2022 rejected claims from one of his engineers stadium that FIFA may change the schedule of matches to help players cope with intense heat.
Splitting the matches in three periods of 30 minutes was never an option, Qatar officials said in a statement Thursday.
' Split the Games held during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has not been discussed at any moment, ' said the team of Qatar. ' All 64 games in 2022 will be played in stadiums carbon neutral, cooled in two halves of 45 minutes according to the regulations '.
Qatar and FIFA have been sensitive to criticism of 2022 World Cup plans since the small Emirate has won hosting rights last December. The 32 teams should play and train for up to six weeks in June and July, when daytime temperatures hit 108 degrees.
Qatar has promised to equip 12 seats in the State-of-the-art air-conditioning units with blowing air cooled above players and spectators. Plans for air training camps team status and public viewing areas for thousands of fans visit have not been outlined in detail.
Engineer Michael Beavon said at a Conference in London on Wednesday that FIFA had a backup plan ' forward-looking ' to divide matches into thirds, giving players more time to rehydrate if temperatures rose above 84 degree Stadium.
Qatar officials responded that the claims by Beavon, a Director of Arup Associates, were without any Foundation. ' '
' Representatives from Arup are not of Qatar 2022, ' said the statement.
FIFA denied it had contingency plans, insisting this possibility was not discussed.
In any case, this would require a change in the laws of the game and then would have to be analyzed and approved by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in the first place, ' said the organ.
