It is very rich when FIFA has to send out a letter telling its member countries bidding to host the 2026 World Cup to refrain from engaging in bribery and corruption in connection with the bid and those countries voting not to accept bribes for their votes. That is exactly what FIFA is reported to have done recently when it was reported that its Secretary General Fatama Samoura, warned countries voting on the bid not to accept support (IE. bribes) “which might unduly affect the integrity of the bidding procedure.”
