澳洲足球联盟总裁David Gallop称如果卡塔尔涉嫌贿赂导致重新投票，澳洲不能排除重新申办2022年世界杯的可能性。

星期日泰晤士报称电子邮件表明前国际足联执行委员会成员Mohamed bin Hammam向足联高层官员支付了500万澳元（300万英镑）买通他们支持卡塔尔成功申办，该新闻让国际足联高层人士认真考虑重新投票。

Gallop告诉SEN电台说：“事态的发展比较严重，这些是非常严重的指控，我们将看看下面将会发生什么。现在就说关于澳洲几年前的位置发生了什么，澳洲是否有新的机会还为时过早，在现阶段还是“等着瞧吧”。”

国际足联副主席Jim Boyce称假如道德委员会证明了任何过错，他认为重新投票“完全没有问题”。

卡塔尔2022世界杯主办委员坚持称在2011年国际足联主席大选时因贿赂官员而被禁赛的Bin Hammam与投票无关。

卡塔尔主办方说：“我们强烈否认任何过错行为的指控，赢得主办权是因为我们是最佳的申办方，也应该轮到中东来举办自己的第一次世界杯了。”

Australia could bid for 2022 World Cup again, says FFA's David Gallop

The Football Federation Australia chief executive, David Gallop, has refused to rule out a fresh bid for the 2022 World Cup, should allegations of corruption against Qatar lead to a rerun of the vote.

The Sunday Times alleged that emails suggest Mohamed bin Hammam, a former Fifa executive committee member, paid $5m (£3m) to senior football officials to help build support for Qatar's successful bid. The news has led senior figures within Fifa to seriously consider a rerun of the vote.

"It's a serious development, they're serious allegations and we're looking to see what the response to that will be. It's too early to say whether that reopens the door of anything that happened a few years ago in terms of Australia's position but it's a bit of a 'watch this space' at this stage," Gallop told SEN.

Jim Boyce, Fifa’s vice-president, said he would have "absolutely no problem" with a rerun of the vote if the ethics committee proved any wrongdoing.

The Qatar 2022 organising committee insists that Bin Hammam, who was banned from football after bribing officials during the 2011 Fifa presidential elections, had nothing to do with its bid.

"We vehemently deny all allegations of wrongdoing,” said the Qatar organisers. “The right to host the tournament was won because it was the best bid and because it is time for the Middle East to host its first Fifa World Cup."
