FIFA in dock as Triesman reveals corruption

PRESSURE is growing on FIFA to launch a full investigation into fresh allegations that six executive committee members asked for bribes or favours, including a knighthood, in return for World Cup votes.

FIFA’s already-tarnished reputation has received another battering after the claims made by former FA and England 2018 bid chairman David Triesman against four FIFA top brass.

Two more FIFA members, Issa Hayatou from Cameroon and Jacques Anouma from the Ivory Coast, were alleged to have been paid $1.5 million (€1 million) to vote for Qatar for the 2022 World Cup, according to claims highlighted by MPs at the culture, media and sport committee in the House of Commons.
