FFA delays Qatar appeal decision Too hot: Mark Bresciano playing for Al-Gharafa in Qatar. Football Federation Australia will wait for final confirmation from FIFA about the rescheduling of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar before deciding whether or not to launch an appeal. The second-most powerful man in world soccer, FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke, declared in an interview this week that Qatar would be hosting the event "between November 15 and January 15 at the latest" - rather than in the traditional June-July period. FIFA hurriedly issued a statement in response to Valcke's comments, declaring no decision had been made. "As the event will not be played until eight years' time the consultation process will not be rushed and will be given the necessary time to consider all of the elements relevant for a decision," it read. Consequently, no decision will be taken before the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil as agreed by the FIFA executive committee. While many expect the tournament will be moved to the Middle Eastern winter, it will infuriate the other bidding nations who believe Qatar has been given an unfair advantage. The FFA responded to the proclamations by declaring its interest in how the matter unfolds. "FFA is aware of the reported comments by the FIFA Secretary General, but we note that FIFA has subsequently clarified its position regarding the formal consultation process and timing for a decision on the 2022 FIFA World Cup," an FFA spokesman said. We look forward to taking part in the consultation process on this issue. Socceroos midfielder Mark Bresciano, who plays his club football in Qatar, said he believed it would be impossible for the World Cup to be played in the region during the June-July period, where daytime temperatures can be as high as 45 degrees. "It's not the players I'm concerned about, it's the fans," he said. You can't get people walking the streets in those conditions. It's going to be impossible for kids or elderly people. It will be very stressful for them and I think it could also damage their health in some situations. Bresciano is disappointed he did not win his case against a footballing ban over alleged irregularities about his transfer to Qatari club Al-Gharafa, but he is at least delighted his suspension will be lifted in mid-March, ensuring he can play for Australia in the World Cup. And the meticulous midfielder is so determined to ensure the four-month ban does not impinge on his World Cup prospects that he is planning to fix up a mid-season "move" to Italy to help rebuild his match fitness. Italian clubs, he explained, played regular friendly games and under the terms of his ban he is allowed to play in such games. In Italy every club has a friendly game during the week. Bresciano, who turns 34 next month, had trouble getting to grips with the suspension, admitting his will to play the game had disappeared. "I lost my enthusiasm ... I just didn't want to train any more," he said. Now with this decision being made I don't have to go to sleep thinking ... am I going to miss the World Cup?
