Qatar has been cleared of corruption allegations over its 2022 bid to host the football World Cup, but England has come under criticism in a Fifa report.
FIFA has provisionally banned German World Cup winner Franz Beckenbauer from all official football-related activities for 90 days for failing to cooperate with the corruption investigation into the Qatar 2022 World Cup bid.
FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke confirmed that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will not be played during the scorching heat of June and July, but FIFA have quickly backtracked on his comments.
The organisers behind the Qatar 2022 World Cup have said that they are “deeply concerned” at the findings of the Guardian investigation into the treatment of migrant workers in the small Gulf nation.
FIFA has not yet made a decision on when in the year the 2022 World Cup will be played in Qatar, but the European nations have agreed that it must be moved from the summer.
