A BBC Panorama documentary being broadcast on Monday night claims that Qatar spent a massive £117million on their successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup,
The evidence came from Lord Triesman, the former FA chairman and leader of England’s doomed 2018 bid until forced to resign from both positions following a female civil servant tape-recording unproven allegations he made about Spain and Russia attempting to bribe referees.
Triesman tells Panorama that the Qatar figure – almost six times what England spent on their 2018 campaign – came from contacts close to British intelligence.
