Uefa president Michel Platini has called for the 2022 World Cup to be played across the whole of the Gulf.

Qatar won the right to host the 2022 tournament but the decision has not been without controversy with Fifa boss Sepp Blatter keen to hold it in winter.

Neither proposal was suggested during the bidding process and Qatar have always maintained the tournament will only be held in the tiny Arab country.

"I hope it will be a World Cup of the Gulf," said Platini on Wednesday.

First of all they're now probably going to have it in January despite it not being said in the original bid and now this suggestion.
