The timing of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar (November 21-December 18) is forcing a redrawing of the football calendar in Europe, and this often causes irritation among representatives of the sport. Recently, Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp once again spoke viciously on this topic. But it turns out that the tournament interferes with other sports as well.
The International Luge Federation announced the other day It is too hot in Qatar in summer, so it was decided to postpone the World Cup to autumn-winter and hold it at the very end of 2022, from November 21 to December 18. This decision is still not liked by many representatives of football, but nothing can be changed.
One of the most vocal opponents of this “winter” World Cup is Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp , who recently again spoke out in annoyance on this topic. Before the start of the new season of the English Premier League, the Reds boss was asked if the tournament would be a marathon or if it would turn into two sprints thanks to a break in Qatar.
Klopp launched into a long and angry tirade about the tournament being held at the wrong time and for the wrong reasons. And all the talk on this subject really angers him.But they anger, it turns out, not only representatives of the football community. The International Luge Federation was surprised to learn that the first stage of the 2022-2023 World Cup in Innsbruck, which was scheduled for November 26-27, will not be televised, because the entire live broadcast will be occupied by the World Championship in Qatar.
The FIL Executive Board had to cancel this stage and revise the entire luge calendar for the new season. They later announced that this stage was moved to the German Winterberg on February 24-26 and will be the final stage of the series.that the first stage of the World Cup in Innsbruck will not take place precisely because of Qatar-2022
