Fifa to publish Michael Garcia's corruption report 'where legally possible' as Sepp Blatter claims 'the crisis has stopped'

Fifa President Sepp Blatter declared “the crisis at Fifa is over” after the Executive Committee of football’s governing body agreed to publish its own confidential report into corruption in the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids.
But he confirmed that Fifa will not revisit the decision to award those two tournaments to Russia and Qatar. That choice was made in December 2010 by a Fifa Executive Committee of which 11 of the 25 members have since left, eight as a direct consequences of allegations of corruption.
The report will be published with “appropriate redactions” to protect the confidentiality of those who cooperated with its author, US attorney Michael Garcia. oh, Fifa
