The Clinton Foundation has reportedly received at least $50,000 and as much as $100,000 from the football governing body.
There were also far larger donations from the Qatari committee which won the Middle Eastern nation its position as host of the 2022 World Cup, and Qatar’s government.
The Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee, in charge of the country’s successful World Cup bid, also gave the organization between $250,000 and $500,000; Qatar itself donated between $1 million and $5 million.
The Clinton Foundation disclosed the donations on their website, adding that the Supreme Committee’s money was for “research and development for sustainable infrastructure at the 2022 FIFA World Cup to improve food security in Qatar, the Middle East, and other arid and water-stressed regions throughout the world.” It is unclear what FIFA’s donation was for.
FIFA, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, is the World Cup’s governing body.
