The German member on the executive committee of world football's governing body FIFA, Theo Zwanziger said that QATAR will not be hosting World Cup in 2022.

According to Zwanziger "I think that at the end of the day the 2022 World Cup will not take place in Qatar."

Adding "Doctors say, and I had insisted on this point in the protocol, that they cannot guarantee that a World Cup can be held in summer in these conditions."

The reasons why he think QATAR cant host the games is because of their high summer temperatures. But FIFA spokesman responded to AFP subsidiary SID said "As Mr Zwanziger himself says, it's his personal opinion."

Qatar has reportedly developed stadium cooling systems, Zwanziger insists "he World Cup involves not only stadiums. There are fans coming from the four corners of the world who will be concerned by the heat. The first incident putting a life in danger will be subject to an investigation. And that, nobody in the FIFA Executive Committee would want to reply to."

But Nasser Al Khater, Qatar's executive director of communications, said in a statement "Qatar will host the FIFA World Cup in 2022, despite comments of FIFA executive committee member Dr. Zwanziger, which reflect his personal opinion and not that of FIFA. The only question now is WHEN, not IF. Summer or winter, we will be ready. We have proven that a FIFA World Cup in Qatar in the summer is possible with state-of-the-art cooling technology."

He added "We have demonstrated that our cooling works in outdoor areas beyond stadiums. This summer we welcomed fans in Doha to an open-air Brazil 2014 Fan Zone with temperatures cooled to a comfortable 22 degrees Celsius. The evolution of environmentally-friendly cooling technologies is an important legacy for our nation, region and for countries with similar climates - promising to expand the reach of hosting major sporting events to countries where it was never thought possible before."

Zwanziger is leaving the FIFA executive committee in May.

FIFA's ethic committee is to announce in early 2015 the results of its investigation into the attribution of not only the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, but also the 2018 edition to Russia.
