World soccer governing body FIFA has been rocked by new allegations of corruption, with two members allegedly paid $1.5 million each to vote for Qatar instead of Australia to host the 2022 World Cup.

In an explosive session of a British parliamentary committee in the House of Commons, six members of FIFA's graft-tainted executive were accused of involvement in bribery before last year's votes to decide the 2018 and 2022 hosts.

Two members of the 24-man FIFA executive were suspended before last December's ballot for allegedly offering to sell their votes to undercover reporters from The Sunday Times.

British lawmaker Damian Collins said the hearing had now received evidence from the newspaper that FIFA vice-president Issa Hayatou from Cameroon and Jacques Anouma from the Ivory Coast received bribes of $1.5 million to back Qatar's 2022 bid.

Qatar easily won 2022 hosting rights, with Australia receiving just one vote of the 22 on offer.

Former British football chief Lord David Triesman also accused FIFA vice-president Jack Warner of demanding $4 million to support England's 2018 bid.

Three other FIFA executives are accused of asking for favours, with Paraguay's Nicolas Leoz allegedly requesting a knighthood.

"I said that it was completely impossible," Lord Triesman said.

"We didn't operate in the United Kingdom like that.

"Mr Leoz shrugged his shoulders and turned and walked away."

England was knocked out in the second round of the 2018 ballot, mustering just two of 22 votes.

Russia later went on to win with 13 votes.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who is fighting for re-election, immediately vowed to address the latest allegations.

"If this is true, I will fight this," Sky Sports reported Blatter as saying.

"I am fighting for FIFA to clean FIFA.

"I cannot answer for individual members of our committee.

"I cannot say if they are all angels or if they are all devils."

Triesman revealed that Warner, the influential head of the North and Central American federation CONCACAF, had demanded to be paid directly about 2.5 million euros for construction of schools in Trinidad.

Triesman, who had met Warner along with England 2018 deputy chairman Sir Dave Richards, said the request was rejected immediately.

"I said immediately the proposition was out of the question. Sir Dave said: 'You must be joking Jack. You're probably talking about 2.5 million (euros).'

"Jack nodded at that. He said that the money could be channelled through him and he would guarantee the funds would be appropriately spent."

In a second incident involving Warner, Triesman revealed how the Trinidadian had sought a 500,000 euro "donation" to secure the rights to broadcast the 2010 World Cup in Haiti to lift the spirits of the earthquake-shattered nation.

Warner later dismissed Triesman's allegations as a "piece of nonsense" in a statement to Sky Sports.

"I've never asked Triesman nor any other person, Englishman or otherwise, for any money for my vote at any time," Warner stated.

In November 2009, Triesman and English bid members met Brazilian official Ricardo Teixeira on the sidelines of a England-Brazil friendly in Doha.

After remarking to Teixeira that he was happy to have heard positive sentiment about England's bid from former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Teixeira had replied: "Lula is nothing - you come and tell me what you have for me."

The fourth official named by Triesman was Thailand's Worawi Makudi, who had demanded to be awarded broadcasting rights of a possible friendly match between England and Thailand in Bangkok that had been pencilled in for 2011.

Triesman said he had feared damaging England's bid if he had gone public with the incidents he detailed.

"The point was not pressed," he said.

"And I think, in retrospect, we would have burned off our chances. In retrospect that was not the right view to take and I accept that."
