Russia & Qatar may lose World Cups - Fifa official

The ongoing trial of many of the top FIFA executives has taken another turn today. Domenico Scala, the man in charge of Fifa's audit and compliance committee. He says if both these countries are found guilty of buying votes to get the event to be held in their countries may lose the privilege of hosting them. Swiss authorities have launched investigations on this matter and so far have said that they haven't found any evidence yet. If they find substantial evidence that beyond any doubt proves Qatar and Russia involvement in any bribery, than it would be a massive shock to the football fans around the world. Not only would it hurt those who have already bought the tickets, but it would also postpone the world cup because building/renovating the stadiums in the new host country would require time and resources.
