FIFA asks Makudi for more proof in land deals case

FIFA executive committee member Worawi Makudi faces further investigation into allegations that $860,000 of development funds were spent building football projects on land he owns in Thailand.

FIFA says it will launch a formal case against Makudi if he fails to provide further documents by Dec. 1 which prove his claims that he donated land to the Thailand Football Association.

FIFA says “the matter would be referred to the Ethics Committee” if it does not receive “the requested legal confirmation.”

FIFA has demanded more information from the Thai FA president after “an in-depth analysis of the documentation received so far.”

Thailand received two rounds of FIFA funds from 2004-07 to build a training field and office headquarters.
