Scandal around Qatar: ex-head Fifa spoke few days before mundial

Former FIFA Yoseph Blatter, a few days before the start of the World Cup in Qatar, gave an interview to the Swiss edition of Tages-ANzeiger, saying that obtaining the right of the dog to hold the mundial was corruption. Blatter’s statements quotes Israeli Channel 9

According to Blatter, America was supposed to become the mistress of the tournament, but the French simply “lay down” under Sheikhs and voted as the then President Nicolas Sarkozy hinted.

According to Blatter, Michel Platini, who then headed UEFA, called him before the FIFA Congress, and said that the plan to provide the US World Cup-2022 would not work. On the eve of Platini with a request to grant Katar the right to accept the World Cup was appealed by the then President of France Nicolas Sarkozy, says former head of FIFA.

“Zepp, what would you do if your president asked you about something?” Platini asked me. Then I told him that this question did not occur to me, because we have no president in Switzerland. It was no longer possible to count on Platini. Thanks to the four votes who gave Michelle and his people, the world championship went to Qatar, not the USA. This is true. Once again: this is true. But, of course, it was about money. Six months later, Qatar bought fighters from the French for $ 14.6 billion, ”Blatter said.

The Israeli edition is wondering: why did Blatter talk about this only in November 2022? He left the post of head of FIFA with a scandal in 2015: “Did he not have tools from 2010 to 2015 to cancel what he called the actually large French-Arabuster?”
