English FA maintains pressure on FIFA over Qatar World Cup bidding bribery allegations

English Football Association Chairman Greg Dyke has been one of the many skeptics of the Gulf nation's capacity to host the tournament, considering that the schedule would fall at a time when heat temperatures in Qatar are at its peak, apart from the bribery allegations. It can be recalled that the Brazilian heat had been a primary complaint among teams and coaches during some of the tournament matches in the Latin American nation.

FIFA says it will no longer make Garcia Qatar World Cup bid report public

It appears that FIFA has decided to keep the report for internal use only. However, the report said that only the final decision of the world soccer body's adjudicatory chamber could be made public. It is to note that FIFA lead investigator Michael Garcia has spent over 18 months investigating allegations that there have been vote trading and breaches in FIFA ethics during the bidding process of awarding the tournament hosting rights. Russia has secured the rights to host the next World Cup, which will be in 2018, while Qatar is set to play host in 2022.
