The Qatar WC has been moved to a Nov-Dec time slot, as June-July was considered too brutal heat wise. 

Same should apply to these Intercontinental Playoffs. Stage them in Switzerland (FIFA's HQ), or Paris or London. 

But yeah June in the Middle East would be a massive disadvantge for the AWs. You could see at the Olympics how our boys struggled more in the heat & humidity near Tokyo. And how much more they enjoyed the conditions for the one game they had in cooler Sapporo (Romania).

But the biggest loser of this change to a 1 leg, neutral venue game, is the NZ football fan.
