More than $200million (€170m) in stolen funds relating to the 2015 scandal will be returned to FIFA and two other continental governing bodies.

The money was seized from the bank accounts of former officials who were prosecuted for corruption and will be returned to FIFA, CONCACAF, and CONMEBOL by the United States Department of Justice.
