{{FIFA should review the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar if an investigation shows that corruption played a part in the winning bid, English Football Association Chairman Greg Dyke said on Tuesday.}}<\/p>\n
Appearing before a parliamentary committee, Dyke said FIFA should publish in full a report into the bidding process for 2018 and 2022 being compiled by American lawyer Michael Garcia.<\/p>\n
However, Dyke played down talking of stripping Russia of the 2018 tournament because of political tensions over Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Garcia, who has been leading a FIFA ethics committee investigation into allegations of corruption surrounding the award of the 2022 World Cup to the Gulf state, will submit his report in September.<\/p>\n
“If Mr Garcia shows that there have been corrupt activities, the whole thing should be reconsidered,” Dyke said.<\/p>\n
Dyke said he was convinced that the tournament would not be held in June or July if it was played in Qatar because of the intense heat, with a move to a cooler time of the year like November or December a certainty.<\/p>\n
Dyke played down suggestions that Russia could be stripped of the World Cup as a punishment for the downing of a passenger plane over Ukraine last week which Western nations have blamed on separatists backed by Moscow.<\/p>\n
“I think there will be a World Cup in Russia,” Dyke told reporters after the hearing.<\/p>\n
