FIFA's chief investigator has told reporters that he will fully investigate any irregularities into the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar respectively.
American Michael Garcia has been charged with the task of helping clean up world football's governing body as the head of the investigatory arm of FIFA's ethics committee. The former US Attorney has the full backing of FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who needs to be seen to be making the organisation as transparent as possible.
The central focus of his efforts is on the decisions to award the World Cup finals to Russia and Qatar, with the 2022 tournament in the Gulf state especially shrouded in controversy.
As expected.

Too sad South Africa snatched it from us last 3 years
