The world cup is held in the summer because that's when no other football is going on. It's that simple. Moving the WC to november not only ruins the WC, but ruins the entire rest of the football season. And even doing it in November it's just too hot.

Let the people around world conduct it when it's suitable to them
Yes it's hot in quatar. So is the whole MENA. Don't they deserve to see football?
Let Europe do it in summer when it's suitable there. Let quatar do it in winter when it's suitable there..
This is the closest and most accesible football worldcup to 1 billion people in India. I am thankful to FIFA for conducting this in Quatar
2. Why world cup is held in summer? Is it because Europe is cold in winter and Europeans prefer summer. Unfortunately world is not just Europe. Since this is a world cup why should it not be held in seasons that is suited where it is hosted?
3.Same as above. Football is popular across world.
4. May be this is to get foot bal more popular in middle East. Why only conduct where it is popular. Let's conduct where new fans can emerge.
5. corruption in FIFA is not new
6. So what. May be quatar is trying is be a sports destination of MENA. It's thir money. Let them spend it the way they want.
7. So has a large number of people died in making the phones, clothes or anything in Modern world. I come from Kerala in india where a large population is in Arab countries including quatar. People from here go to these palces because they pay well. May be not as much as western world like, but much more than we make here. So i don't give too much about the stories about slave labour and everything.
8. Are you coming to watch football or to promote pride culture?
