KUALA LUMPUR: Oman will face a race against time to build a stadium large enough to satisfy FIFA requirements if football's governing body decides to expand the Qatar 2022 World Cup finals and asks the Sultanate to co-host the enlarged tournament.
"They haven't come to a decision yet, but it's not a federation decision. We have some issues. We don't have a stadium for 40,000, so if we take it we will be working against time. That is the first enemy for us. There are so many issues and it won't be as easy as it looks. "Sharing a few games with a few of the neighbouring countries is, of course, an option as well to make it a true World Cup for the world and for the whole Gulf region," he said on Saturday.
