FIFA have hinted that they may now consider moving the timing of the tournament – something that Al-Thawadi has previously said he would be open to – but the head of the 2022 World Cup also says there is no reason…
Vicente del Bosque will be guarding against complacency when Spain open the defence of their European crown against Italy on June 10.
