L’ancien président de la Fédération allemande, Theo Zwanziger, s'en est durement pris au Qatar dans ses déclarations sur l’attribution du Mondial 2022 qu’il invite à revoir. «J'ai toujours dit clairement que le Qatar est un cancer pour le football mondial, a lâché Zwanziger à la radio allemande hr-info. Un pays qui fait la moitié (du lande de) Hesse peut-il accueillir le plus grand événement de football? Non, je pense qu'il faut revoir cela. Il y a assez de temps dans le cas du Qatar».

«J'ai parlé hier (mardi) avec ma collègue américaine qui a accompagné cette enquête concernant la Fifa. Elle m'a indiqué qu'il n'y avait pas de volet allemand à cette enquête ». Selon le ministre allemand de l’Intérieur et des Sports, Thomas de Maizière, la Coupe du monde 2006 qui a eu lieu en Allemagne ne serait pas concernée par l’enquête que mène actuellement la justice américaine sur des soupçons de corruptions au sein de la FIFA.
La semaine dernière, Constant Omari, le président de la Fédération congolaise, avait pointé l'Allemagne du doigt : «L'Allemagne avait racheté la voix de l'Océanie, illégalement, pour obtenir l'organisation de la Coupe du monde, ça on n'en parle pas. Quand il s'agit de l'Allemagne, il ne faut pas en parler», avait-il dénoncé sur RTL.

The FBI is investigating the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar as part of its wide-ranging crackdown on Fifa corruption, according to Reuters.
 
The American bureau, which along with the Swiss authorities arrested numerous Fifa officials in Zurich last week on corruption charges, is reportedly examining the controversial awarding of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments, whose destinations were decided in 2010. The Swiss authorities had already declared they were investigating the 2018 and 2022 bids.

According to Reuters, an FBI official who spoke on condition of anonymity said Fifa’s decision to award the World Cups to Russia and Qatar respectively are part of a probe that is looking beyond the allegations in an indictment published last week that alleged endemic corruption at the world governing body.

Here’s more from Chuck Blazer, it’s from testimony published by the United States Department of Justice:
 
I and others on the Fifa executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup

on pages 35, 36 and 37 of the 40 page document when Blazer was asked, "is there anything else?", there are large parts of the American's submission redacted.

"Among other things I agreed with other persons in or around 1992 to facilitate the acceptance of a bribe in conjunction with the selection of the host nation for the 1998 World Cup.

Mohamed bin Hammam’s chief accuser, the Fifa executive-committee member Chuck Blazer, has welcomed the lifetime ban handed to the Qatari as a deterrent to anyone tempted to bribe another football official.
 
Blazer, the general secretary of Concacaf, informed Fifa head office of the corruption scandal that had engulfed the meeting of the Caribbean Football Union on 10-11 May.
 
“I learned through some members that cash was being offered to members of our confederation for their votes and to me that’s about as bad a situation as I can imagine,” Blazer said of the extraordinary congress at which $1m (£613,000) cash changed hands in brown envelopes, leading to Bin Hammam’s ban.
 
“I believe vote-buying is unacceptable and I felt that had to be said widely and clearly, and I am very glad the ethics committee has confirmed that, regarding bribery, we have zero tolerance.
