Gobe! South Africa Admit Bribing FIFA To Win World Cup Bid
Jordaan, has reportedly confirmed that South Africa
paid $10m after the country won a bid to host the
2010 World Cup. Jordaan however insists that the
payout was not a bribe to FIFA officials.
The Sunday Independent reported that Jordaan said
the money was paid to the Confederation of North,
Central American and the Caribbean Football
Association in 2008.
Last week, the United States Justice Department
claimed a South African bid official paid a bribe for
the hosting of the 2010 football
spectacle. Seven officials of the world football body
have also been arrested for allegedly being part of
the international scandal involving millions of
dollars stretching back 24 years.
Jordaan was quoted as saying the $80m was paid
directly over to South African football authorities in
2008 for the football tournament. A further $20m
was allocated to build SAFA House and $10m was
paid to CONCACAF.
Jack Warner, who has been implicated in the
bribery scandal, was the head of the association at
the time.
