The question about when the tournament will be held was revealed in Doha Tuesday with a November/December timetable proposed. Having been cleared of any wrongdoing by Michael Garcia's investigation into alleged corruption into the bidding process surrounding the 2022 tournament, Qatar and world governing body FIFA must now negotiate the minefield of placating a host of parties by playing a World Cup outside of the traditional June/July schedule.

Answer: Qatar.
