FIFA's leaders have expressed "extreme concern" at the latest allegations of World Cup bidding corruption and have asked the Football Association to provide a full report of the claims.
Former FA and England 2018 chairman Lord Triesman alleged in Parliament that four FIFA members had asked for money or favours in return for World Cup votes. Two other FIFA members were separately alleged to have been paid 1.5million US dollars to vote for Qatar's 2022 bid.
FIFA said in a statement: "In his letter to the FA, the FIFA secretary general [Jerome Valcke] expresses the extreme concern of FIFA and the FIFA President at the latest allegations questioning the integrity of some FIFA Executive Committee members in connection with the bidding procedure for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups."
