Allegations of corruptions have surrounded the bidding process which saw Russia taking the 2018 hosting and Qatar for 2022 during the voting process held back in December 2010.
Regarding the alleged corruption during bidding process، New York lawyer Michael Garcia had compiled a 350-page report and delivered to German judge Hans Joachim-Eckert، head of FIFA’s ethics ajudicatory chamber. FIFA had decided not to make the report public، upsetting Garcia in the process.
Regarding the huge allegation report from Garcia، Eckert had cleared all the claims made against the 2022 organizing committee for corruption over a 42-page summary produced by Eckert himself.
FIFA President Sepp Blater had claimed the crticizm against Qatar was in fact racist while the 2022 organizing committee had maintained that they had followed “highest ethical standards” during the bid process.
Russia had won the World Cup hosting bid after beating England and the joint bids by Holland-Belgium and Spain-Portugal.
