LONDON: Federation of International Football Association has stayed World Cup 2026 aimed allegations around the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
According to Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke, it was “a nonsense” to begin the process in the current climate.
The voting for the host of 2026 is scheduled to be held in Kuala Lumpur in May 2017.
The United States are frontrunners to stage the tournament, but Canada, Mexico and Colombia are also thought to be interested.
Russia and Qatar were selected to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups by a secret ballot of Fifa’s 22 executive members in December 2010.
But Swiss prosecutors are now investigating alleged financial irregularities surrounding the bidding process.
