ROME: FIFA vice-president Victor Montagliani has said that moving the European soccer season to the calendar year is a"possibility to be discussed" in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic which has brought football to a standstill around the world.
"We have the opportunity because the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 will be played in November/December and that could be the idea," said Montagliani, who is president of the CONCACAF confederation. "It is not an idea to be discarded, it can be a solution in view of the next two years and this winter World Cup".A number of European leagues, including Italy, Germany and England, still hope to finish their seasons but doing so could force the start of the 2020-21 campaign to be pushed back. UEFA also wants to finish the Champions League and Europa League.
The idea of a calendar-year season has been put forward before including by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge when he was chairman of the European Club Association .
