A member of the UEFA executive committee says the Corona virus epidemic could affect the international soccer calendar for "two years" and could affect the Qatar World Cup that is preparing for winter 2022. The virus that infected more than 3 million people worldwide and caused more than 218,000 Deaths, destroying football schedule when Euro 2020 is postponed for 2021 and Worldwide leagues and club competitions are pending. 



Qatar World Cup is scheduled for November 21, 2022 and UEFA Executive Board member Lars-Christine Olson said it was premature To know what will happen in the tournament. "We'll live and see" he said when asked about the next World Cup. When asked during a webinar how long he thinks the international board could be affected by the situation, Olson replied: "Probably two or three years from what I think."



"If the virus continues to develop even more severely than it was, there will definitely be a problem in the international calendar. When some of the competitions are carried from year to year and the Qatar World Cup comes in the middle of the season while local and international competitions have to be squeezed, that's a problem. I think we have to wait and see how it goes Affect the business. " 



Olson added: "If that were possible, I think it would be OK to keep the leagues arrested this season, but of course we have to make decisions at the end of May at least, otherwise it will probably not be squeezed and the clubs will be run for next season."
