Pressure mounts on Fifa over Qatar 2022 World Cup
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has described the allegations surrounding the Qatar World Cup as "shocking" and if proven must provoke a re-run of the bid process.
FA chief: 'Fifa could consider stripping Qatar of Cup'
The chairman of the Football Association, Greg Dyke, has added his voice to calls for a re-run of the 2022 World Cup bidding process if allegations of corruption in Qatar's bid are proven.
Mr Dyke told Radio 4's Today programme: "I think it clearly has to be investigated as a matter of urgency by Fifa.
"And I think if it is shown that the process was corrupt or was corrupted then I do think there will have to be a whole discussion about whether or not you take it away from Qatar.”
