The Associated Press reveals that Qatar, the host of the World Cup, paid in excess of $10 million for "Project Riverbed", a covert influence campaign in 2012–2014 run by a former CIA operative's company aimed at neutralising Theo Zwanziger's criticism of FIFA's decisionmaking process as regards Qatar's host bid, which he accused of being corrupt. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the same company surveilled Amos Adamu, another FIFA's executive committee member (who has since been expelled).

FIFA strips Russia from its possibility to play under its own flag, but allows to participate under a neutral banner of "Football Union of Russia" (similar to the International Olympic Committee forcing Russian athletes to compete at the Olympics under the name of the Russian Olympic Committee over concerns of Russian athletes cheating by doping on drugs); international soccer matches that would have taken place in Russia may only be played without spectators in other, neutral countries. At the same time, several teams, including all possible play-off opponents for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, refuse to play with the country's team.
