FIFA dismisses Jack Warner's claim he secured World Cup TV rights in exchange for supporting Sepp Blatter

FIFA has labelled Jack Warner’s claim that he secured World Cup television rights in exchange for supporting Sepp Blatter’s presidential campaigns as completely false.

FIFA's former cheap jerseyvice-president revealed last month that he purchased the Caribbean broadcasting rights for the World Cups of 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014 for $1 via a Mexican company.

FIFA has acknowledged that Warner sold TV rights for a nominal fee so that they could be sold on at a greater price to generate money for the Caribbean Football Union.

However, the organization has claimed in a statement released on Friday that Warner’s declaration contained “several inaccuracies and falsehoods” and that the sale of TV rights "had nothing to do with the 1998 or 2002 election campaigns, or with any other election campaign.

“To imply the contrary is completely false.”

Warner resigned from his role within FIFA in the summer after being embroiled in a bribery scandal that also saw fellow vice-president Mohamed bin Hammam receive a life ban from football.
