Football's world governing body FIFA has announced that clubs will not receive any compensation if the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is held in winter.
The organisation's secretary general Jerome Valcke was speaking a day after a FIFA task force recommended a November/December tournament.
He told reporters no payments would be made as a result of clubs losing players and playing schedules being disrupted.
"There will be no compensation. I mean, they have seven years to reorganise football around the world for this World Cup," he said.
"It's not perfect, we know that, but why are we talking about compensation? It's happening once, we're not destroying football.
"Why should we apologise to the clubs? We have had an agreement with the clubs that they are part of the beneficiaries. It was $40m (£25.8m) in 2010 and $70m (£45m) in 2014."
FIFA wants to move the 2022 World Cup because of the scorching summer temperatures in Qatar.
Its task force has suggested holding it in November and December as the temperatures then will be around 25C.
The proposed new dates for the event are set to be ratified by FIFA's executive committee next month.
To minimise the disruption, Mr Valcke said the tournament could be reduced from 32 to 28 days, meaning more games will be played per day.
"We are talking about a reduction of the competition in terms of the number of competition days. We are talking about 28 days and not anymore 32 days," he said after meeting Qatar's 2022 organising committee.
"It is a very special World Cup to organise because we would describe Qatar 2022 as a compact World Cup," he added. "Normally we are looking at 10 (stadiums) but it could be eight."
