English FA boss: Doubt remains about Qatar hosting the 2022 World Cup

“The truth is that I suspect it was the worst moment in FIFA’s history and that it will be living with the consequences for at least another seven years."

English Football Association chairman Greg Dyke believes significant doubt remains over whether Qatar will actually host the 2022 World Cup, five years on from what he calls “the worst moment in FIFA’s history”.

The vote by FIFA’s executive committee on December 2, 2010 awarded the 2018 World Cup to Russia and the 2022 tournament to Qatar. Since then there have been accusations that FIFA members were paid or given incentives to vote for Qatar, and earlier this year the Swiss attorney general launched an investigation into the bidding process for both the tournaments.
