The Asian Football Confederation has urged Fifa to move the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to January or February to avoid the desert state's summer heat.
AFC General Secretary Peter Velappan said potential temperatures of 40C in the country pose a danger to players.
Velappan added that plans to cool stadiums and training grounds with air conditioners were "not a solution".
He also warned that some European countries may boycott the tournament due to concerns over the heat.
"Qatar is a nice country but there is no way football can be played in June and July there. No player will ever want to play in these conditions," said Velappan.
