UEFA president Michel Platini is determined to stage the World Cup during the European winter for the first time at the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
The move would require all major European Leagues to take a month-long winter break, including England's Premier League which has no mid-season break at all.
Platini believes there is enough time to work out how to organise the domestic leagues around a winter World Cup.
He voted for Qatar to get the 2022 World Cup in preference to England and was also in favour of Russia being awarded the 2018 tournament.
