European clubs will demand compensation from FIFA if the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is moved to the winter.

Bayern Munich AG CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is the chairman of the European Clubs' Association and he says shifting the tournament from the summer will affect the business of European clubs.

"We are ready to discuss changing the date under one condition - that there is no damage for club football. Because if we change from summer to November or January it will affect our business."

He also confirmed that they are not ready to cover the costs of such a move.

"That cost cannot be paid by the clubs. We are not ready to pay it and it has to be made clear to FIFA that they need the goodwill of the clubs or we are not ready to talk or discuss it."
