The World Cup will take place between November and December. This is due to the host country’s climate in June and July when Qatar can reach average temperatures of 40 to 50°C.
At the beginning of the negotiation, FIFA issued a report indicating that the tournament going on during the summer could be considered a potential health risk. However, the host city organization insisted it would accommodate the competition in the usual months. They promised several advanced air conditioning technologies in the stadiums, training grounds and fans' areas. Following the current technological evolution level that the UAE presents to the world, it is acceptable that this would not impede the holding of the World Cup. As proof of this, British company Arup developed a prototype titled Qatar Showcase, which showed how this system would work.
