Fifa to investigate World Cup 2018 'votes for cash' allegations
Fifa are investigating allegations that two officials offered to sell their votes in the contest to host the 2018 World Cup.
A statement from Fifa read: "Fifa and the Fifa Ethics Committee have closely monitored the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 Fifa World Cups and will continue to do so.
"Fifa has already requested to receive all of the information and documents related to this matter, and is awaiting to receive this material.
"In any case, Fifa will immediately analyse the material available and only once this analysis has concluded will Fifa be able to decide on any potential next steps.
"In the meantime, Fifa is not in a position to provide any further comments on this matter."
The Oceania Football Confederation also announced they were investigating the reports.
A statement said: "OFC is aware of the story that appeared in the Sunday Times in England today. As such, OFC is currently looking into the matter."
The allegations centre on Reynald Temarii, the president of the Oceania Football Confederation who hails from Tahiti, and Nigerian Amos Adamu, a Fifa executive committee member, who will both have a vote when the secret ballot to decide the destination of the 2018 World Cup – which England hope to host – takes place at Fifa headquarters on Dec 2.
Temarii is accused of demanding around £1.5 million from undercover Sunday Times journalists in order to build a sports academy, while Adamu was videotaped asking for around £500,000 – half of which was to be paid upfront – for a “personal project”.
A European nation will definitely host the 2018 World Cup after the United States pulled out of the race on Friday.
The US had been the last non-European bidders remaining in the race for 2018 following Australia's withdrawal in June.
Their withdrawal leaves England's as one of four European bids for 2018 alongside Russia and joint bids by Belgium/Holland and Spain/Portugal.
