The ongoing coronavirus pandemic could wreak havoc with the footballing schedule as far down the line as the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, according to one UEFA chief.
Football is currently in a complete shutdown due to the impact of the virus worldwide, with no resumption on the horizon and some top European leagues already calling a halt to the 2019-20 campaign.
With so many questions still yet to be answered going forward, Secretary General of FIFPro Lars-Christer Olsson admits the international football calendar could be disrupted for 'two to three years', putting the 2022 World Cup at risk.
Olsson, who is also the president of European Leagues, said during a Soccerex webinar chat: 'If the virus is developing in an even more serious way as it's been for the time being, there will definitely be a problem with the international calendar.
'When some of the competitions are moved from one year to another... and then the Qatar World Cup is coming in the middle of the European season and you have to squeeze in domestic and international competitions.

FIFA is literally putting the World Cup in a country that used slave labor to build the stadiums, all because of money.
LOL at anyone who thinks FIFA is letting this World Cup disappear due to a virus that showed up two years prior to the date of the tournament.
