FIFA says ethics investigator Michael Garcia has submitted his report into alleged corruption in the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding contests.

FIFA says Garcia "reaches conclusions concerning further action with respect to certain individuals."

Some FIFA critics hope Garcia's work will lead to Qatar being stripped of the 2022 tournament. Russia won the 2018 hosting rights.

The FIFA statement did not specify if Garcia has recommended putting the Russian and Qatari hosting rights into question.

Garcia's report, delayed since July, will now be examined by FIFA ethics judge Joachim Eckert, who can impose sanctions.

FIFA says Garcia submitted a 350-page report, and further documents about the Russian and United States bids.
