FIFA Says investigation Report about Qatar Cannot be Published in Full

On Friday, the FIFA’s top judge announced  that they will not be able to  release the full report about the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups for legal reasons.

Many people like Michael Garcia the former U.S. federal prosecutor who led the investigation for the report  asked FIFA  to  share  it with the public.

Hans-Joachim Eckert, chairman of the FIFA’s adjudicatory chamber said in an interview  published in FIFA.com website  “Publishing the report in full would put the FIFA ethics committee and FIFA itself in a very difficult situation legally.

He added “What is more, we have to respect the personal rights of the people mentioned in the report, which in the case of full publication of the report would in all likelihood not be possible” .

He also said  that he is preparing a statement that should be released “by mid-November at the latest.” That will contain “a summary of the main findings, conclusions and recommendations of the report, as well as a brief evaluation”.

Fifa has been put under spotlight following  allegations says that  the Qatari  former soccer chief paid millions of dollars to national federation chiefs to back Qatar to  win  the right to host the 2022 World Cup.

Garcia urged FIFA to be more transparent and  ” authorize the appropriate publication” of the  report. Also, UEFA president Michel Platini and FIFA vice president Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein of Jordan called for  publishing the report.

Qatar  faces pressure over the dates of the  world cup because of the  high summer temperatures in the Gulf Area, and  claims about  exploiting and abusing  migrant workers. Qatar has strongly denied all these claims .
