Fifa announced that the organization is "closely following" the situation unfolding in the United States after allegations of bribery were unveiled on Monday in relation to the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
The U.S. Justice Department confirmed several new allegations of corruption on Monday stemming from bribes being paid to former members of Fifa's executive committee.
An indictment from a New York court revealed that former CONMEBBOL president Nicolas Leoz, who died last year, and former Brazilian national federation president Ricardo Teixeira have been accused of accepting bribes to vote for Qatar at Fifa's executive committee meeting in December 2010, where the country was awarded the 2022 World Cup.
