It is ''a mistake'' to hold the World Cup in the searing summer heat of Qatar, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said. The technical report on Qatar clearly indicated that it was too hot in summer,'' Blatter told Swiss TV station RTS on Thursday. ''But the (FIFA) executive committee decided with quite a large majority that we are going to play in Qatar.'' Blatter also said it was ''more than likely'' that the 2022 tournament will be moved to winter to avoid the extreme heat of June and July in the Gulf nation. On Friday, FIFA issued a statement insisting that Blatter was not questioning the choice of Qatar itself.
