Former FIFA executive Chuck Blazer has admitted taking a bribe to back South Africa's bid to host the 2010 World Cup.
The man nicknamed "Mr 10%" admitted to a catalogue of corruption before a US judge, and incriminated other executives in his 2013 evidence, which has just been released.
He also said he had been involved along with others in accepting a bribe over the selection of the host nation for the 1998 World Cup.
And he confessed to taking "bribes and kickbacks" over a number of years in connection with the broadcast and other rights relating to five Gold Cups run by the North America, Central America, and the Caribbean confederation (CONCACAF).
The court transcript reveals Blazer said: "I and others on the FIFA executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup.
"Among other things, my actions described above had common participants and results."
