The Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC), the organizing committee of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has welcomed the publication of the Garcia Report on the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar but "questioned the timing of the leak."
"We believe that the extent of our cooperation with this investigation and the conclusions drawn represent a vindication of the integrity of our bid," SC said.
"We will continue to dedicate ourselves toward delivering on the promises we made during our bid and hosting an historic first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East," the statement added.
