Now the scheduler are asked to find the best possible solutions, which certainly not easy, but not is impossible “

Andreas Rettig (DFL CEO): “. The discharge Cup in Qatar in November and December, for the European leagues organizational, but also financial burden. (…) The Fifa must now demonstrate specifically how a solution can look that takes into account all matters. This is also paying attention to the load of the top players.
