The footballers' union has published a report on the impact of the World Cup in Qatar, which took place from November 20 to December 18, 2022, on the workload of footballers.

According to the published data, the recovery time was reduced from 37 days to 8 days to minimize disruptions to the European game calendar. The preparation time for the tournament has also been reduced from 31 to 7 days 🤯

In turn, FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed the opinion that the quality of international tournaments in winter is better than in summer, as players have more strength than at the end of the season
