German Football league (DFL) President Dr. Reinhard Rauball has threatened a pull-out by European football governing body UEFA from under world body FIFA if they did not publish the full report on the World Cup bid controversy involving 2018 hosts Russia and 2022 hosts Qatar.
FIFA released a 42-page summary of the report clearing both Russia and Qatar of any misdoings in their bidding process to bag the rights to hold the tournaments. Football’s world governing body was determined to keep the details of the report prepared by investigator Michael Garcia from the world. Garcia though claimed that the summary contains "numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts and conclusions". He has appealed against the summarised report released by judge Joachim Eckert who is the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of FIFA's independent ethics committee.
Rauball told German website Kicker that, if FIFA doesn’t release the full details UEFA might force an exit from under their aegis.
"The result was a breakdown in communication, and it has shaken the foundations of FIFA in a way I've never experienced before.
"As a solution, two things must happen: Not only must the decision of the ethics committee be published, but Mr Garcia's bill of indictment too, so it becomes clear what the charges were and how they were judged.
"Additionally, the areas that were not evaluated [in the report] and whether that was justified [should be published]. It must be made public. That is the only way FIFA can deal with the complete loss of credibility.
"If this doesn't happen and the crisis is not resolved in a credible manner, you have to entertain the question of whether you are actually still in good hands with FIFA."
"One option that would have to bear serious consideration is certainly that UEFA leaves FIFA."
While AFC has backed FIFA’s decision, the CONCACAF wants the full report to be made public.
