World Cup sponsor Sony calls for Qatar corruption investigation

One of the World Cup’s main sponsors has urged FIFA to properly investigate allegations of corruption being involved in Qatar’s successful bid to host the 2022 tournament.

Electrical goods manufacturer Sony, which is one of six businesses listed as a FIFA ’partner’, putting it into the highest category of World Cup backers, has stated that football’s international governing body must ensure it abides by “its principles of integrity, ethics and fair play”.
