Cup could force Games to move

But IOC says FIFA boss assures there will be no clash with Winter Olympics

The 2022 Winter Olympics may have to move from its traditional January and February dates to accommodate the World Cup finals being staged in Qatar, leading European soccer clubs' official Umberto Gandini said on Wednesday.

Gandini, vice-chairman of the European Club Association of Europe's top 200-plus clubs and director of sport at AC Milan, told delegates at the Leaders In Sport summit at Stamford Bridge the World Cup should take precedence.
