AFP, Geneva :
The results of a corruption probe over bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup must be made public, a senior FIFA official who represents the game in Asia said on Wednesday.
“In the interest of full transparency I believe it is important that the much anticipated report on the ethics investigation-that is crucial to ensuring good governance at FIFA-is fully disclosed and open to the public,” Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein said in a statement emailed to AFP.
“This will only help the football community move ahead in reforming our institutions in the best interest of the sport,” he added.
Prince Ali is the vice-president of world football’s governing body FIFA, representing Asia, and also heads the national association of his native Jordan.
An ethics panel led by former US federal prosecutor Michael Garcia has notably been looking into the way Qatar won the right to host the 2022 World Cup.
