Late Thursday, Gulati and his fellow executive committee member Jeffrey Webb, the president of the regional federation that includes the United States, released a joint statement that again pressed FIFA to release the report.

“Given the disagreement between the two Chairmen of the Investigatory and Adjudicatory Chambers of the Ethics Committee and to ensure complete transparency we believe the full report conducted by the FIFA Ethics Committee into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups should be made public as soon as possible,” their statement said. “This can be done with appropriate redaction to protect any confidentiality required by the FIFA Code of Ethics. Providing the entire independent report for inspection is in the best interest of the game and FIFA.”

For the moment, the only clarity on the matter has come in the form of Eckert’s 42-page summary of Garcia’s roughly 500-page investigation. In his summary, Eckert focused primarily on the actions of the 11 countries that bid for the two World Cups. While Garcia found violations of varying degrees among the bidding countries, including Qatar and Russia, Eckert wrote that the discoveries were “far from reaching any threshold that would require returning to the bidding process, let alone reopening it.” According to Eckert, the investigation also did not find any evidence of wrongdoing by Sepp Blatter, the longtime president of FIFA, whom Eckert singled out at one point “for the cooperation FIFA demonstrated throughout this investigation.”

The heaviest criticism from Eckert with regard to ethical violations was directed at a losing bid: As England applied for the right to stage the 2018 tournament, its bid committee engaged in actions that were “damaging” to FIFA’s image and the bidding process, Eckert wrote. In particular, Eckert highlighted Garcia’s discovery that officials handling England’s bid had numerous interactions with Jack Warner, a member of FIFA’s executive committee at the time, who made several unethical requests of England’s bid committee, including asking for a relative to be given a job. England’s “bid team often accommodated Mr. Warner’s wishes, in apparent violation of bidding rules and the FIFA code of ethics,” Eckert wrote.
