FIFA confirms new international dates as fixtures pile up
FIFA has confirmed a new window for international matches in January 2022 as World Cup qualifying fixtures continue to pile up because of the COVID-19 pandemic. World football’s ruling body said in a statement that the window was ratified by the decision-making FIFA Council on Thursday.
It applies to all continents apart from Europe, will last from January 24 to February 1, 2022, and means European clubs will be obliged to release their players during that period.
FIFA has also agreed that the CONCACAF Gold Cup will take place from July 10 to August 1 next year and that the Africa Cup of Nations - postponed from 2021 - will be played in January 2022.
