Fifa and it's (former) corrupt members

Day -603 WorldCup2018

This was yesterday's news which I read and planned to share but I got a little distracted by Aston Villa winning a football match.

Fifa have banned, Worawi Makudi, one of their former executive members from all football related activity for 5 years. Maludi was also the former president of the Thai FA.

This is from the BBC report:

"Makudi was one of the 22 Fifa executive members who voted in 2010 on who should host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

At least 10 of the 22 have since been implicated in allegations of corruption and bribery, with a number having been indicted in an FBI investigation."

Ten football officials of questionable integrity were trusted with making two of the most highly debated World Cup host country decisions ever, with Qatar the most controversial ever.
