World Cup bidding suspended
世界杯竞标推迟
FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke said on Wednesday that FIFA would postpone bidding to host the 2026 World Cup while investigations continue into allegations that bribery helped determine hosts of earlier tournaments.
国际足联(FIFA)秘书长杰罗姆·瓦尔克10日表示，鉴于前几届世界杯主办国的选定程序涉嫌受贿，相关调查正在进行，因此FIFA将推迟2026年世界杯的竞标。

FIFA had expected to allocate the 2026 tournament to a host nation in 2017, but it has been embroiled in scandal since the US indicted 9 top officials on corruption charges last month.
FIFA原计划于2017年决定2026年世界杯东道国，但自上个月，美国对9名涉嫌腐败的FIFA高官提起诉讼，FIFA一直丑闻缠身。
Swiss authorities have also opened an investigation into how the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were awarded.
瑞士当局也展开了一项针对2018年和2022年世界杯申办程序的调查。
