Corruption in sport/ FIFA confidential files

A pressure group has called for a new Fifa reform commission to lead a fundamental overhaul of football’s scandal-hit world governing body. Speaking at the New Fifa Now summit in Brussels, the MP Damian Collins said the new commission should be overseen by a body such as Unesco and given the power to publish all outstanding corruption inquiries.

Meanwhile, an influential House of Commons select committee will be granted access to the Football Association’s confidential files on the contentious 2018 World Cup bidding race, according to the former sports minister Gerry Sutcliffe.

The culture, media and sport select committee has conducted a series of investigations into the controversial 2018 and 2022 bidding processes.
