The proposal was for the game to be played one day with a start time of 7 pm local. The time is 11:00 a.m. There is an hour and a half time. The tournament will be extended to 29 days because it will be the only match on the Sunday.
There would be an opening ceremony after the tournament had kicked off because the hosts' first match was scheduled to be on Monday. According to sources, the emir of Qatar wanted to have a fireworks display before his country's opening match in order to reduce the impact on the spectators.
According to sources, the game will be moved to Sunday in order to give the World Cup a chance to be showcased.
The game will be played at 7 p.m. on the Monday because of the slot left by the move of the game from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. There won't be an early kick off. There are two games on Monday.
