German football boss urges 2022 WCup review (AP)

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP)—Germany’s soccer federation president has called for a review of the vote that gave Qatar the 2022 World Cup to scrutinize corruption allegations.

Theo Zwanziger said the awarding of the tournament to Qatar raised “speculations and corruption allegations” and should be examined “more precisely.”

Zwanziger is running for a place in FIFA’s executive committee and said he would be willing to look into the matter.

He also said Wednesday’s election for FIFA president should be by secret ballot.
