The investigation into the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups yielded a 350-page report and about 200,000 pages of evidence. It looked into the campaigns surrounding executive committee votes in 2010 that produced surprising victories by Russia, which plans to host the tournament in 2018, and Qatar, which is set to stage the games in its searing climate in 2022.

Gulati declined to provide a list of other members who had expressed support for making the report public, but like-minded members are believed to include Jeffrey Webb, the president of Concacaf, which governs soccer in North and Central America and the Caribbean; Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, a FIFA vice president from Jordan; and Jim Boyce, a FIFA vice president from Northern Ireland.

Prince Ali, in comments on Twitter, and Boyce, speaking with the British newspaper The Telegraph, have made public statements this week in support of the report’s release.

“If people have nothing to fear,” Boyce told The Telegraph, “they should not worry about information being published.”

Allegations of corruption surfaced even before the two World Cup hosts were announced in 2010. The Qatari bid in particular has been the subject of immense scrutiny since its stunning victory. Speculation about whether the tournament will eventually be moved from Qatar — because of either improprieties in its bid or its stifling temperatures, which would require special stadium cooling in summer — has been rampant. Qatari bid organizers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing, and they maintain that they are prepared to hold the tournament in the summer or, if FIFA chooses, in the winter.

This week, Theo Zwanziger, a member of the executive committee, said in an interview with a German newspaper that he believed the 2022 tournament would be moved because of the heat. FIFA quickly responded by saying that Zwanziger was stating an opinion.

Regardless, FIFA’s regulations and procedures, as well as its history of secrecy, make it difficult to ascertain specifics about what could happen as a result of the report. Neither Garcia, who wrote the report, nor Eckert, who has received it, can unilaterally decide that a revote on the 2018 or 2022 host is necessary.
