South African Football Association President, Danny Jordaan, has reportedly confirmed that South Africa paid $10m after the country won a bid to host the 2010 World Cup. Jordaan however insists that the payout was not a bribe to FIFA officials.
The Sunday Independent reported that Jordaan said the money was paid to the Confederation of North, Central American and the Caribbean Football Association in 2008.
Last week, the United States Justice Department claimed a South African bid official paid a bribe for the hosting of the 2010 football
spectacle. Seven officials of the world football body have also been arrested for allegedly being part of the international scandal involving millions of dollars stretching back 24 years.
Jordaan was quoted as saying the $80m was paid directly over to South African football authorities in 2008 for the football tournament. A further $20m was allocated to build SAFA House and $10m was paid to CONCACAF.
Jack Warner, who has been implicated in the bribery scandal, was the head of the association at the time.
