FIFA says it will not compensate football clubs or leagues who will have to rearrange domestic fixtures as a result of the 2022 Qatar World Cup being played in November and December.
A FIFA executive committee will meet next month to ratify a taskforce recommendation that the tournament is moved from the summer to avoid Qatar's searing temperatures at that time of year.
Some domestic leagues and clubs are angry about the disruption this will cause to their seasons.
But while world football's governing body says it will not apologise for the unusual dates, it says it will slightly shorten the tournament.
FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke says there is plenty of time to arrange things.
IN: "There will...
