FIFA today released the full report of its inquiry into the bid process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup. The Garcia Report, as it’s been nicknamed after investigator Michael Garcia, who commissioned the report in 2014, was leaked yesterday by German news outlet Bild. After the leak, FIFA decided to release the 430-page report in full.
The United States bid for the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup was highlighted in a separate document and reviewed the efforts from the U.S. Soccer Federation’s attempt to bring the world’s greatest tournament back to the United States.
