The disgraced former Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, has claimed that his fellow govt committee (Exco) members ignored advice that Qatar was incapable of hosting a World Cup after they voted to award the competition to the Gulf state.

He alleges Qatar’s shock victory was a mixture of a rule-breaking collusion deal and political pressure exerted on Michel Platini, the French Exco member.

The claims are made in Blatter’s recently printed book Ma Vérité (My Truth), the 82-year-old’s defence of his 17-year reign as Fifa president, which ended with a six-year ban from football.

Blatter says “no one” on the Fifa Exco, which was superseded by the Fifa council in 2016, read the detailed inspection report on the candidate countries, because they’d all already made up their minds.

“If we had read them carefully, we’d have seen that the World Cup could not be played in Qatar,” he writes.
