FIFA's plan to move the 2022 World Cup in Qatar from summer to winter is hitting some stumbling blocks.

We should know more about the scheduling of the tournament over the next 48 hours.

FIFA's executive committee are meeting in Switzerland to discuss a number of issues, including the Qatar conundrum that they got themselves into by awarding the hosting rights to the Gulf state.

But FIFA President Sepp Blatter's plan is facing resistance from members of FIFA's Executive Committee.

UEFA President Michel Platini believes that a vote cannot be carried out this week until further consultation takes place.

The head of US soccer Sunil Gulati and fellow Executive Committee member Jim Boyce of Northern Ireland also feel an immediate vote is not suitable.

Awarding the hosting rights to Qatar has proved to be a major headache for FIFA with allegations of harsh treatment towards migrant workers.

Meanwhile, the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups is being investigated for allegations of corruption.
