FIFA is investigating suspicions that employees of these organizations agreed to sell their votes, which will determine where the 2018 World Cup will take place.
Journalists from the "Sunday Times" pretended to be representatives of United States companies who wanted the tournament to take place across the Atlantic.
They contacted Amos Adamu, a Nigerian representative in the FIFA executive committee. According to reports, he demanded money in exchange for artificial turf football fields to be built in Nigeria.
The head of the West African football association demanded 800 thousand dollars, which violates FIFA rules. Adamu wanted the money to be paid directly to him, and in return the Americans could expect his vote in deciding where the World Cup will take place.
"If you invest such money, it means you want a vote too," Adamu says in the video.
A 24-member committee will choose the host country by secret ballot on December 2. They will choose from four candidates - joint bids from Belgium-Netherlands and Spain-Portugal, as well as Russia and England.
