March 24, 2013 by 888Scoreonline

Though, both UEFA and FIFA presidents are now agreed on playing the event in winter, Qatar still want to organize the mega event during its traditional time period. As far dates change is concerned, FIFA has asked Qatar to submit a formal request to shift the timing while Qatar look nowhere interested in accepting their inability to host the world cup during the month of June. According to recent media reports, Qatar has planned a comprehensive plan to convert all world cup sites into fully conditioned ones so both players and fans could enjoy the game without fearing heat of the dessert. In fact, Qatar organizers have replied Blatter’s advice to submit a formal request by saying that they are still committed to what they had promised when they were … [Read more...]

March 20, 2013 by 888Scoreonline

Everyone knows how the stadiums’ renovation work is going on in Brazil which is the host of June 2014 FIFA world cup, and surprisingly after many promises, Brazil has not been able to deliver number of stadiums it said before.
