The Garcia report into corruption in FIFA said the England 2018 World Cup bid team was found to have "accommodated or at least attempted to satisfy the improper request" of executive committee members, including former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner.
FIFA's long-awaited report into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding process was published by football's world governing body on Tuesday.
The Football Association had lobbied to bring the World Cup to England in 2018 but was unsuccessful after being eliminated in the first round when receiving only two votes. The tournament went to Russia, while Qatar secured the 2022 finals, with both decisions reached on December 2, 2010.
